Physics 116: Mechanics and Special Relativity
Previous Announcements
- HOMEWORK 11 HINTS: Studying Example 13.6
("Compton Effect") should help with problem 13.8, and studying Example 13.5
("Radiation Pressure of Light") should help with problem 13.10.
- LAB MAKE-UPS: If you have missed one or more
labs, you have the opportunity to complete them on
Thursday May 6 at 12:20 and Friday May 7 at 2:30 in
Rock B50 (or B22-there will be a note posted on both
doors). If you can attend neither make-up session, you may attend a P112
make-up session. Please email Glenn
Case to arrange this. If you attend the P112 session, keep the
signed pink and yellow sheets and show them to Prof. Perelstein in class.

- HOMEWORK 10, PROBLEM 1 (c): To make the
calculations easier, you may assume that the system is
lightly damped (the coefficient of friction "b" is small) when you
solve for the maximum amplitude. (04/27)
