Midterm #1

Does anyone know if the fourth audio visual module is a part of the midterm? Does it meet the cutoff in the book work, meaning does it occur in 1D (I haven’t gotten there yet)?

If you are referring to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, it is part of 1B

Okay, that makes sense. I’m only about half way through b.

It's a bit late, but someone posted these videos about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

These videos give some background information and explanations of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. I found them helpful, so hopefully someone else will, too!

https://youtu.be/qO_W70VegbQ - This is a Crash Course video my TA showed us that I found very helpful for understanding the background behind the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (it also touches on Schrodinger's theory and experiment).

https://youtu.be/TQKELOE9eY4 - This is a TED-Ed video that helped me understand the concept of wave packets and losing certainty.
