Hello, as many of you may be aware, instructors often provide different coverage for the same course. For reasons I will not get into here, I have only a couple of days to prepare for examination in a class that I did not take but to which I have transferred from an equivalent class elsewhere (secondary school level physics). As far as I can tell from the study guide, my previous instruction did not cover any of the sound/light components, specifically:
-interpreting a standard diagram of a transverse wave
-diagram of refraction using a ray of light and critical angle analysis
-diagram of either a lens or a mirror with the key terms, drawing rays and finding the image, lens makers equation
-sound and its key terms, the speed of sound, beats, resonance lengths in both open and closed air columns...
-standing waves involving diagram, labeling and some analysis involving speed, frequency and wavelength, qualitative questions about overtones and harmonics
-sound involving tuning forks, beats and tuning an instrument, characteristics which distinguish one sound from another
-the doppler effect and infra and ultrasonic sounds
I believe we were assigned different textbooks as well, but I do not have access to this other text. As this is highly time sensitive, quite frankly any guidance pertaining to self-study material covering the above would be very, very gratefully accepted. Please accept my sincere thanks, and I hope I am posting to the correct section of the forum. :(
