Concept Explanations
Please email me/come to my office hours with your questions. If for some reason you cannot, then you may want to use the resources below.
Frequently Asked Questions This is a list of answers and explanations of questions that I've heard people ask. This is maintained by me and I will be happy to add answers to any questions emailed to me.
Earth's Motion Since it always helps to have access to explanation from as many people as possible, I'll occasionally post some readings I've found on the internet that cover material similar to the class. These are NOT written by me. Also while I preview these websites, they may have errors, and as I do not maintain these websites, I am not responsible for their mistakes. This particular link centers on the earth's motions. This is simply to give an explanation in someone else's words because sometimes my words and Prof. Steinacker's might not be sufficent. It helps to see things one more time. ***NOTE*** That these websites will often cover more and sometimes less material than was in lecture. The material you will be tested on and are responsible for is the content of the lectures. This is just to aid your learning. If you have any questions, please email me or stop by my office hours.
A Short Movie About Light Sometimes videos are just more fun. It's short and a good 2 minute review of the basic concepts.
Advanced Light Notes For those of you looking to expand your knowledge of light and its properties. Check out this quick little summary. It goes beyond the scope of our class but if you're interested, check it out. It also never hurts to know more about a topic. If you understand a topic deeply you are less likely to forget the simpler parts.
Stellar Spectra ActivityA neat activity on classifying stars based on their spectra. Try it out. It's fun.
Inverse Square Law: Interactive Having trouble understanding the inverse square law of light? Check this out!
