PH3151 Part B Important Questions

The document outlines important questions across five units in physics, covering topics such as mechanics, electromagnetic waves, oscillation, optics, basic quantum mechanics, and applied quantum mechanics. Each unit includes derivations, explanations, and discussions of key concepts, such as the moment of inertia, Maxwell's equations, Doppler's effect, Schrodinger's equations, and energy levels in quantum systems. The questions aim to assess understanding and application of fundamental principles in these areas.
