No problems are to be submitted unless listed below.

Submit RJP-0.5 on 01-24-2011.  Read syllabus on format of submitted homework.
Submit RJP-3.0 on 01-31-2011.  I have added equation (1-10B) to Chapter 1.
Submit RJP-7.0 on Monday, 2-07-2011
Submit RJP-4.5 on Thursday, 2-10-2011
RJP-0.8 is to be submitted on Monday 14..
Submit RJP-22 on 2-21-2011
Submit RJP-32 on 2-28-2011
Submit RJP-33 on 3-03-2011
Submit RJP-55 on 3-14-2011

Test No.1 will be on 3-17-2011.

Submit RJP-68 on 3-28-2011

Due on 3-28-2011.  A short paragraphs on nebular fluorescence and another on how a spectrum is
formed in a modern spectrophotometer other than the use of a prism.

Submit RJP-72 and 74  on  04-04-2011

Submit RJP-76  on  04-07-2011, 04-08 at the latest.

Submit RJP-80  on  04-11-2011.  Submit your source program and the graph of Flux versus wavelength in
   Angstroms.  The graph must be landscape and full page.  Label the axes and use appropriate scales along
   x and y so that the graph is professional looking.
   In your program, write the output of flux and wavelength to a  file called LineProf.txt.  Have the program read
   the values of T, the intital wavelength in Angs., WLi, final wavelength, WLf , and DelWL from the keyboard.
    Have the program convert yur wavelength inputs to cm (WLcm) to use in Planck's Law.

Start working on RJP- 90.  It is due 4-14-2011.

RJP- 105 is due 4-18-2011.

RJP-128 & 160 are due 4-25-2011.  Do not use mathematica, except to find any complicated indefinite
integral.  You must put in the upper and lower limits to get a numerical answer.  I  want to see every
step of the calculation done orderly and clearly.  For #160, first find the answer in cm and then convert
to astronomical units.

I have gone through Chapter 5 and changed the numbering of the equations beyond 5-20.  Check this out.

In doing any problem, show lots of steps and make sure you calculate the different parameters separately.
Don't try to write one gigantic equation with all the numbers in it and then suddenly give the answer, otherwise
you are going to lose points.  Doing a problem in steps helps to eliminate errors and makes it easier for me to grade.

Solutions have been posted for the following ;

0.5, 0.6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,12, 13, 14 ,15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 30 - 58,
65, 67, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 80, 92, 101, 106, 110, and all other problems
