At Fresno State, Physics 4C covers Maxwell's equations, geometrical optics; electromagnetic radiation; physical optics; introduction to special relativity; quantum physics; and the physics of atoms, nuclei, and the solid state.
This web page is meant to include curated resources to help you pass this class. You will notice that it is sparsely populated; this is because Physics 4C is not a class that gets a lot of traction in the Learning Center. If you would like more help with schoolwork or studying related to this class, please come to the Learning Center in the basement of the Library.
Review: Maxwell's equations
Dr. Ringwald puts a heavy emphasis on Maxwell's equations throughout the semester. Before the course load gets too heavy, it's best to review what the equations are, what they mean, and what is the purpose of knowing them.
Mock Exam
This is similar to what your second midterm will be for the semester. Topics included are aperture, light polarization, and special relativity.
A nice informational and entertaining crash course video discussing Snell's Law, reflection/refraction, and converging/diverging lenses.
