Wed March 4, 2009 - Block 3

Went over RA 18.1, 18.2

Some students were having difficulty with superposition so I gave out the Hewitt concept development sheet on superposition as practice.

Went over single slit diffraction and showed how to find the minima.

Showed how to use this for resolution problems. You can resolve two objects if they are far enough apart that the central maximum for one source falls in the first minimum for the second.
