Physics 202: Introductory Physics II Dr. John Varriano Christian Brothers University

You can view/download Dr. Holmes' presentation slides. These may help you in studying the material.
They are available at Dr. Holmes' PHYS 202 course page.

You can go to the student web site for the Serway/Faughn College Physics textbook (6th edition). There are a variety of resources here to help in your studies.

• College Physics (6th edition)

• You can view the Java applets that we look at in class by simply choosing from the list below:

  E-Field Lines of Two Point Charges
  Dispersion in a Rain Drop
  Negative Lens: Ray Trace
  Positive Lens: Ray Trace
  Thick Lens Ray Trace - Spherical Aberration
  Ripple Tank-Interference

  (These applets were either written by S. Kamikawa or W. Christian. You may want to check out more of their work with physics applets: [Kamikawa] [Christian].)
• Click on the thumbnail to view the geometry of an electromagnetic wave.
  
• Examine the electromagnetic spectrum.
• Examine the ray traces for image formation with mirrors (Powerpoint notes).

• Look at the parts of the eye and the photoresponse of the eye.
• Don't like to wear glasses or contact lenses? Read about the different procedures for correcting common vision problems .
• Click on the thumbnail to view the set-up to produce a hologram and to learn more about making holograms.
  
• Review the Powerpoint notes on polarization.
• Click on the thumbnail to view a photograph of a double slit interference pattern being produced photon by photon.
  
• Click on the thumbnail to view the emission and absorption spectra of some atomic gases.
  
• Read about and view images taken by a scanneling tunneling microscope (STM) and an atomic force microscope (ATM).
• View a QuickTime movie (.mov) showing how iron atoms are arranged by a STM tip to form a quantum corral (ring of atoms). This work was done at IBM.
  Click on the thumbnail to see a computer enhanced of the corral taken by the STM. The circular ripples are standing waves formed by the electrons!
