PHY132S Waves - Class 7 - Monday January 26 2009

In Convocation Hall we discussed the Camera Obscura from §23.1 of the text; we did not discuss this in the MP102 session of the course. Instead we finished the Ray Model, which we had already finished in the Con Hall session.

Then for both sections we discussed we discussed §23.2 - §23.5. We essentially finished these sections, although I will have a brief remark about an example of diffraction, dispersion and Raleigh scattering in class on Wednesday.

Mistake!

In the Journal, I mis-drew the figure at the top of page 4. I corrected the figure on Thursday January 29: the correction is in purple.
