1 Want som mor xtra-crdit? Nxt homwork is #7 was du today last on bfor xam. Exam #2 is in on wk! Friday, Novmbr 14 th! Watch th Lunar Eclis this wknd totality starts around 7:00 m Saturday Night. You can only gt xtra crdit if it was clar, and thn you must writ 3-4 aragrahs on: What hand? Dscrib th sts and how it lookd. How long in totality? What color was it? Was it cool or lam? Worth about 25% of a homwork grad. Du on Monday Nov 17 th at th bginning of class NO LATE PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED! Th nd of massiv stars: Outlin Main squnc, rd surgiant, hlium flash, blu surgaint, rd surgiant, surnova, nutron star or Cor of a massiv star collass down with so much forc that a nutron star is formd. Surnova is th shockwav. A ulsar is a nutron star that bams us. What is Scial and Gnral Rlativity Wlcom to th world of Einstin. Exam #2 Dat: Friday, Nov 14 th Plac and Tim: In class, at th normal 12:00-12:50 m tim. Format: 40 multil choic roblms and 2 bonus qustions (xtra crdit). Bring: Yourslf, wll-rstd and wll-studid A #2 ncil On th tst you will b givn numbrs or quations (if any) that you will nd. You may not us your book or your class nots.

2 Exam #2 Toics includd: All matrial from th Sun through blackhols. Lctur and rading matrial ar both includd. My goal is to tst for undrstanding of th concts w hav discussd, and how thy fit togthr. Study tis. W hav covrd a lot of matrial in a short tim, so hr ar som tis on how to aroach your studis for th xam. Toics covrd in lcturs should b strssd. Homwork qustions hav good xamls of qustions that may show u on th xam. An xcllnt way to bgin studying is to rviw th homwork roblms, articularly thos you missd (or got right but wr not so sur about). B sur you undrstand what th right answr is, and mor imortantly, why it is right. You will nd to undrstand and b abl to us any quations that hav bn introducd in class. Calculations using ths quations will b kt siml--it is ossibl to do th xam without a calculator, but you can bring on if you wish. Exam #2 In-Class Q and A: On Wd., Nov. 5th, som tim will b allottd in class to ask qustions about matrial on th xam. For xaml, if thr ar homwork answrs you do not undrstand, this would b an xcllnt tim to ask. To gt th most out of this tim, you ar strongly ncouragd to bgin studying rior to this class. Out of Class Q and A: On Thursday, Nov. 13 th, I will hav offic hours from 10:30 to 11:30am and Justin will hav TA offic hours at 4:00 to 6:00m. You should bring qustions.

Gnral Rlativity whn you ar in a strong gravitational fild? Two Thrads of Thought in Physics u to 1900 Mchanics (Nwton s Laws) All motion is rlativ No sd is scial Elctromagntism (Maxwll s Equations) Th sd of light is th sam for all obsrvrs Inconsistnt! Galilo s shi thought xrimnt No xrimnt within th shi s cabin can dtct th shi s motion if th shi movs in th sam dirction at a constant vlocity. Why Galilo and Maxwll Can t Both B Right Considr two locomotivs mitting light from thir hadlams: At rst #1 c c v from #2 Moving at som sd v v #2 c c + v from #1 Fram Fram of rfrnc: of rfrnc: W ar W at ar rst moving with rsct with th to shi th watr

10 Why Galilo and Maxwll Can t Both B Right Countrintuitiv Rsult #1 Moving objcts aar shortr in th dirction of rlativ motion (Lorntz contraction) If light mittd by #2 movs rlativ to #2 at sd c, Galilo says that #1 must s it mov at c + v. But light mittd by #1 movs rlativ to #1 at sd c or at sd c v rlativ to #2! So th sd of light can t b th sam for vryon if Galilo and our intuition ar right. But Maxwll says it is constant!
