Footnotes:
1 - 21.4 does not discuss the specific heat of solids - so pay attention in
class.
2 - 21.6 and 21.7 don't exist in the 7th edition. Most of the material was combined into 21.5, but not the discussion of mean free path - so pay attention in class.
3 - 35.9 (Fermat's principle) doesn't exist in the 7th edition - pay attention in class.
4 - The material in 37.2-37.4 is rearranged, but everything is there except phasor addition. But phasors are the same thing as complex exponentials, which we will have already covered with a reading in Physics Phor Phynatics.
5 - 38.4 does not discuss the resolving power of a diffraction grating. I have placed a "handout" online, and we will discuss it in class as well.
6 - Lab 11 is a special lab. It will be done in groups. You will need to sign up for a time slot to do this lab.
