PHYS 214 – Spring 2007 – Section 2
Test Information and Review Material


  • Test 1: The test will cover chapters 14–16, and will include three conceptual questions and three 2-part problems (approximately one per chapter, but some questions/problems may involve concepts from more than one chapter). As practice, you can use questions and problems from tests given last year (PDF file or RTF format). Summaries of the concepts and equations for each of those chapters are:

    Chapter 14 (all sections except for 14-8, the Doppler effect)
    Chapter 15 (all sections)
    Chapter 16 (all sections except for 16-4, refraction).

    A 6-page pdf file of what I wrote in class during the review session of Thursday, February 25th, is posted here. The problems I talked about are 14-36, 14-48, 15-32, 15-34, 15-54, 16-12, 16-56 and 16-29. Additional suggested problems on those chapters (in addition to the ones we solved in class and as part of the homewrk assignments) are:

    14-15, 14-37, 14-51
    15-25, 15-37, 15-53
    16-7, 16-15, 16-31.

  • Test 2: The test will cover chapters 17–19, and will include four questions and three 2-part problems (approximately one per chapter, but some questions/problems may involve concepts from more than one chapter). As practice, you can use questions and problems from tests given last year (PDF file or RTF format).

    A 6-page pdf file of what I wrote in class during the review session of Tuesday, March 27th, is posted here. The problems/questions I talked about are 17-52, 18-46, 19-54 and 19-66 (and I added another part to problem 19-66). The equations and numbers you need to know, and additional suggested problems on those chapters (in addition to the ones we solved in class and as part of the homewrk assignments) are also listed in those pages.

  • Final Exam: The exam will include 3-4 questions and 3-4 problems on material from test 1 (chapters 14–16) and test 2 (chapters 17–19), plus 4-5 questions and 4-5 problems on the most recent part of the course (chapters 20–23). The problems will be single-part. Overall, you may expect 8 pages, each containing a question and a 1-part problem.

    A 9-page pdf file of what I wrote in class during the review session of Thursday, May 3rd, is posted here. I hope to add review pages on individual chapters soon.
