11 lessons

One lesson for each chapter of University Physics Volume 3, in the book’s order. The lesson teaches what that chapter says you need to know, then checks it.

  1. 1The Nature of LightThe part of optics dealing with the ray aspect of light is called geometric optics
  2. 2Geometric Optics and Image FormationSpherical aberration occurs for spherical mirrors but not parabolic mirrors; comatic aberration occurs for both types of mirrors
  3. 3InterferenceAn interference pattern is obtained by the superposition of light from two slits
  4. 4DiffractionMissing orders occur when an interference maximum and a diffraction minimum are located together
  5. 5RelativityThe second postulate of special relativity is that the speed of light c is the same in all inertial frames of reference, independent of the relative motion of the observer and the light source
  6. 6Photons and Matter WavesPlanck’s hypothesis of energy quanta led to the theoretical Planck’s radiation law, which agrees with the experimental blackbody radiation curve; it also explains Wien’s and Stefan’s laws
  7. 7Quantum MechanicsIn quantum mechanics, the state of a physical system is represented by a wave function
  8. 8Atomic StructureThe quantum numbers of an electron in a hydrogen atom can be used to calculate the magnitude and direction of the orbital magnetic dipole moment of the atom
  9. 9Condensed Matter PhysicsMolecules form by two main types of bonds: the ionic bond and the covalent bond.
  10. 10Nuclear PhysicsThe atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes
  11. 11Particle Physics and CosmologyQuarks interact via the strong force, but leptons do not.
