• Material I certainly won't ask about in the final from the last 4 chapters. The page number given below refer to the POST LECTURE NOTES
• Relativity (chapter 26): you don't have to know the details from slides 4-10, just the main idea that there is NO ether. You also don't need to be able to derive the time dilation and lorentz contraction equations, but of course you need to know how to apply these equations. Ignore slides 27-30. From slide 32, you need to be able to use equation E=mc² but not the other equations. I won't ask about slides 35-39.
• Quantum physics (chapter 27): slides 9-13
• Atomic physics (chapter 28): you do not have to be able to reproduce the mathematical derivations on slides 9-14, but you should be able to apply equations 5 and 6
• Nuclear physics (chapter 29): slides 34-36
