HMWK assigned:  LAST homework of the year!!!!
Skim chapter 10-11 (p. 288-343)  Much of this content has already been covered in other units that dealt with waves, so just focus on the diagrams/pictures and explanations.

Due Tuesday (Turn in your textbook WITH your homework!)
Lost your textbook?  Time to order a replacement on Amazon.com.  Search for the ISBN:  0078685540 and you will find some for less than $20 shipped; if you don't get a book back to me (and you checked one out) the school will bill you way more!
Final Exam:  Chapter review questions from these two chapters will be solely used as our class's "Final" which I have to give on the last day of class so if you are taking this test, please review these questions.  
Friday: Begin waves unit.
