Dennis Stewart. November. Smu. Modern Physics. 1. Outline for this talk. Einstein . Einsteins Contribution. Joseph Weber. LIGO. The Machine and How it works. The Chrip. Conclusion. 2. Albert Einstein. Michael Fowler, . UVa. Today’s Topics. A bit more about mirrors…. Refraction. Lenses. Ray tracing to locate image. Concave Mirror Focusing Sunlight. This solar collector is really many small flat mirrors, but equivalent to a concave mirror focusing parallel rays to a point half way from the center of the mirror to its center of curvature.. Michael Fowler, . UVa. Today’s Topics. Huygens’ principle and refraction. Snell’s law and applications. Dispersion. Total internal reflection. Huygens’ Principle. Newton’s contemporary Christian Huygens believed light to be a wave, and pictured its propagation as follows: at any instant, the wave front has reached a certain line or curve. From every point on this wave front, a . Lecture 1. Michael Fowler. Basic Outline. The course has three main parts, each about a month: . Electrostatics.. Magnetism and Magnetic Induction.. Electromagnetic Waves.. We’ll cover some other waves, and optical phenomena, in the last few lectures. We’ll also cover DC and AC circuits in the course.. Michael Fowler, UVa. Today’s Topics. Field lines and . equipotentials. Partial derivatives. Potential along a line from two charges. Electric breakdown of air. Potential Energies Just Add. Suppose you want to bring one charge .

Today’s Topics. General form of Faraday’s Law. Self-Inductance. Mutual Inductance. Energy in a Magnetic Field. Faraday’s Law: General Form. A changing magnetic flux through a loop generates an emf around the loop which will drive a current. The emf can be written:. Michael Fowler, . UVa. Today’s Topics. The . lensmaker’s. formula. Magnifying power. Lens combinations: ray tracing, telescopes.. Refraction at a Spherical Surface. Rays close to the axis (“paraxial”) will focus to an image inside the glass:.
