Review: APC 2008 & 2009 FR
1. Individual students will put a single problem on the board for homework credit.
2. The student putting the problem on the board will then present the problem to the class answering all questions and emphasizing the physics of the problem [15 pts]
3. All other students will submit one randomly selected problem for homework credit [15 pts]

AP Physics Exam
12:00 PM

 

Proficiencies addressed:
31. Demonstrate an understanding of the conflicting evidence [Michelson-Morley Interferometer, Photoelectric Effect and Blackbody Radiation] regarding light, its interaction with the environment and the resulting wave-particle duality theory. (CCCS #5.2)
32. Demonstrate an understanding of the application of Special Relativity and its resultant effects on time, length, mass & energy. (CCCS #5.2), (CCCS#5.7)
