Microscopes

<ul> <li>Investigate different types of microscopes.</li> <li>Learn how image is formed in a compound microscope.</li> </ul>

Work: The Scientific Definition

<ul> <li>Explain how an object must be displaced for a force on it to do work.</li> <li>Explain how relative directions of force and displacement determine whether the work done is positive, negative, or zero.</li> </ul>

Collisions of Point Masses in Two Dimensions

<ul> <li>Discuss two dimensional collisions as an extension of one dimensional analysis.</li> <li>Define point masses.</li> <li>Derive an expression for conservation of momentum along <foreign>x</foreign>-axis and <foreign>y</foreign>-axis.</li> <li>Describe elastic collisions of two objects with equal mass.</li> <li>Determine the magnitude and direction of the final velocity given initial velocity, and scattering angle.</li> </ul>

Photon Momentum

<ul> <li>Relate the linear momentum of a photon to its energy or wavelength, and apply linear momentum conservation to simple processes involving the emission, absorption, or reflection of photons.</li> <li>Account qualitatively for the increase of photon wavelength that is observed, and explain the significance of the Compton wavelength.</li> </ul>

Socialization Across the Life Course

<ul> <li>Explain how socialization occurs and recurs throughout life</li> <li>Understand how people are socialized into new roles at age-related transition points</li> <li>Describe when and how resocialization occurs</li> </ul>

Kinetic Energy and the Work-Energy Theorem

<ul> <li>Explain work as a transfer of energy and net work as the work done by the net force.</li> <li>Explain and apply the work-energy theorem.</li> </ul>
