Test 3 will cover the material presented in modules 8-10.
You must be able to:
 | Correctly analyze situations in which an emf is induced by a changing magnetic flux |
| Calculate the magnitude and determine the direction of the emf induced in simple circuits |
| Explain the concept of self inductance |
| Explain how devices such as electric generators, transformers, maglev trains, magnetic brakes, etc, work, based on Faraday's law |
| Calculate the radiation pattern produced by an oscillating charge |
| Distinguish between unpolarized and polarized light |
| Calculate diffraction patterns produced by a single slit, two slits, and a diffraction grating. |
| Work problems involving interference from thin films |
| Calculate the maximum resolution of optical instruments |
| Calculate the energy of a photon and explain the photoelectric effect |
| Work problems involving the laws of reflection and refraction. |
| Use the mirror equation to predict the position and magnification of real and virtual images formed by flat, concave, and convex mirrors. |
| Draw ray diagrams |
| Use the lens equation to predict the position and magnification of real and virtual images formed by thin concave and convex lenses. |

Hints for practice test 3 (Word document)
You may use a print-out of the formulas linked above during the test. You also will be given a copy of the list of fundamental constants found on the front inside cover of your book and a copy of the list of conversion factors found on the rear inside cover of your book. Any material properties that you may need to solve a problem, such as the index of refraction of a material, will be given to you. Bring a calculator.
