This week - Motion of spin 1/2 particles in magnetic fields, "Rabi flopping", neutrino oscillations, MRI physics.
Announcements:
- Weekly preflight due Monday Sep 26 @noon.
- Homework #5 due Friday Sep 30 in class. (SOLUTIONS to all old homeworks are posted on D2L.)
- Exam 1 solutions have been posted on D2L. I'll get your grade information posted there as soon as we are done grading it!

- Tutorial is Friday after class.
Bring the Spin sim this week. All are welcome, you don't need to be signed up to come!
Other notes outside of class: - The APS Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) is coming to CU Jan 15-17 2017, applications are due before Oct 17, go to www.aps.org/cuwip (More information here. )
- "Beyond Bolder" is starting back up - it's a joint Phys/APS weekly meeting to discuss topics of interest to physics/astro majors as they approach graduation. Monday, Sep 26@5PM (with pizza!) is the first one, in G130. Topic: "Grad School - Should I go? How do I apply? How do I get in?" (Questions: contact Nick.Schneider (at) lasp.colorado.edu)
- CU-prime talks are every other week, Tuesday@5 (11th floor, with piazza). Their website is not up to date, check for flyers in the Duane/Gamow tower elevators. These are research talks by CU Physics grad students based on their PhD work, aimed very specifically at undergrads (you!) Also a good place to network about possible research opportunities, if you are interested
- If you are eligible to vote in Colorado and have not yet registered, visit the Colorado voter registration page. Voting matters: I encourage informed, scientifically literate citizens to participate in our democratic system. If you are not a Colorado resident but want to vote in your home state by mail, check out the CU Voter information page for help.
