PHYS 401 :: Physics Illinois :: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Midterm exam
The midterm exam will take place on Thursday, 3/13/2025 11:00-12:20 in Loomis Rm. 276 (our usual classroom).
The exam will be on all the material that was covered up to and including Transmission and Reflection – all the material of Lectures 1-10.
The exam is open book and you may use any material on physical paper (textbooks, printed notes, handwritten notes...).
Please bring calculators – they are allowed and you will need one! With the exception of calculators, no electronic devices are allowed.
Here is a link to a sample exam to give you an idea of the requirements and difficulty.
Here is a link to review slides that you may find useful, you may print them and bring to the exam (these are many slides, in the past, some students printed 8 slides per page and printed double sided). Note: exam questions may rely on derivations that are not included or well-covered by the review slides.
Advice: exam questions are written under the assumption that students know how to solve all HW problems and understand the posted solutions to these problems; it is a good idea to make sure that this assumption is correct.
Good luck!
