no1 does astrophysics (1 Viewer)

im all alone
i got assessment on astrophys... need stuff to plagiarise... noooooo

 

[...]

i did astro

so did rahul

 

[Giant Lobster]

holy shit
pretty good response time considering this is one of two threads in this forum

u got any notes on this module? syll summaries? i already drained this site of any relevant material... plssss help

 

[...]

i remember someone that posted their link to their notes and apparently they did astro too...

 

[Giant Lobster]

... and the link is:

theres like 4links to it

not sure if the one i'm talking bout its one of them

i'll check my HDD

no promises but

 

[Giant Lobster]

thanks man!

 

[...]

eh, i think i deleted most of my shit..


whats the assignment about?
i'll see if i can remember any shit from astro...

i got the same assessment task, its "our understanding of celestial objects depends upon observations made from Earth or space near Earth."
in particular, we have to mention galileo's perving on the moon, why some wavebands can be more easily detected from space (?), problems associated with ground-based astronomy in terms of resolution and absorption of radiation and atmospheric distortion, and finally improvements such as adaptive optics, interferometry and active optics.

phew.

thats veyr straight foward...

unlike mine last yr

fark...it was a jk..the maths involved was like..more than the whole hsc paper would had

 

[Giant Lobster]

ahhh
its one of them research tasks (i dunno if other schools do em; personally i loathe this type of assessment), they tell us a few syllabus dot points to research, then 3 weeks later, we do a test in class

hmmm
this year we got the first 4 DPs of the syllabus of this topic

but im kinda worried about the verbs they use
i.e. consider this dot point

Discuss Galileo's use of the telescope to identify features of the moon

now, if i were to look at the verb def of discuss, i get "identify the issue, provide points for / against"

ok, now i must provide points for or against galileo's looking at the moon? ridiculous!

 

[...]

hmm..sounds werid

ask ur teacher bout the wording, cos as u said its a bit ridiculous

besides, dunno why ur teacher is making a big deal with this dp

 

[Giant Lobster]

i rather have math in physics than word answers

oh gawd do i long for more math in phys
stupid humanitarian subject named phys >.<

 

[...]

u should come to my school

our physics teacher set this assignment with so much maths it was like..only one dude pulled it out..it took a bit of mathemical thinking as well


it was fun though..even if i only pulled a D

the dp is copy and paste from BOS syllabus so the teachers wud prolly agree with my argument but nonetheless its confsuing
i guess what the teachers want me to be able to do is simply recall that galileo used a telescope...

 

[Giant Lobster]

hey... u wudnt know how interferometry works wud ya?
i still dont get it

the overall idea of separating telescopes to get a differing perspective of the image to increase res is understandable but i dunno the mechanics behind it... ill prolly need it too

 

[...]

the mechanic

woah

is that when u have like 30 telescope so that the resolution is better????

 

[Giant Lobster]

yep
the key thing is they r like hundreds of km apart
so u get D = many kms

 

[...]

the mechanics behind it is outside of the syallbus i think

cos use computer and stuff


umm..its hard to explain ....
