Dear PHYS1212 Students:
A) Exam #1 and Extra Office Hours, Dates + Times:
As announced in class and by earlier email, we will have our first in-­‐class exam, Exam #1, next week Tue. Feb. 3, 9:30-­‐10:45am.

If so, pls. comply with the Email Rules I sent you earlier today. In case attendance is very high, I may move the venue from my office, Rm. 313, to another room: pls. check for notes on the door of Rm. 313.
B) Scope of the Exam and Exam Preparations:
The exam will cover:
Basics of wave propagation
Geometrical optics, incl. reflection, refraction, and total internal reflection
Image formation by lenses, mirrors, vertebrate eye and optical instruments
Angular magnification
Topics such as Doppler effect, interference and diffraction will not be covered by Exam #1.
In preparation for the exam, you should:
1) Print out a clean copy of the Exam#1 Formula sheet, from the course web site at:
http://www.physast.uga.edu/classes/phys1212/schuttler/exams/FSheet/t1form.pdf
and make sure to bring it with you to the exam. The Formula Sheet also gives you a compact overview of the exam topics covered, see above.
2) Bring to the exam:
writing utensils, a ruler (straightedge), for drawing ray diagrams etc.
a non-­‐algebra, non-­‐programmable scientific calculator
No other materials or supplies will be allowed.
3) Work thru the practice materials posted on the course website for the foregoing exam topics, including links on the following web pages pages:

-­‐-­‐Practice Topic #01: http://www.physast.uga.edu/classes/phys1212/schuttler/hw/pt01_LightFlectFract.html
I especially recommend you work thru a few problems on refraction and total internal reflection.
-­‐-­‐Practice Topic #02: http://www.physast.uga.edu/classes/phys1212/schuttler/hw/pt02_ImageFmOptInst.html
I especially recommend you work thru a few problems on microscopes, telescopes and angular
magnifications produced by these instruments.
4) Work thru all the LON-­‐CAPA HW problems and solutions (posted/to be posted) for
HW Set#1 HW Set#2 C) Exam Format and Content:
The exam will consist of a combination of conceptual questions, mostly in multiple choice format (answered on a scantron)
worked partial-­‐credit, numerical problems (answered on regular letter-­‐size exam papers)
