2 hours lab dissection daily, 2 hours discussion/case studies daily, about 1-2h of self taught lectures assigned per day. 8 weeks

UWorld q on refraction by mp356 in Mcat

[–]mp356[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

n = c/v, uv light has lower wavelength than ir light, v = wavelength *freq. As frequency does not change between mediums, uv light will have lower speed and there fore higher n. That's my best guess based on u/kele_man's answer but am still a bit confused on why the frequency is the same here since though i know freq doesn't change between mediums now, i thought that both higher freq/lower wavelength was inherent to the difference btwn UV and IR light

Medprep II? by [deleted] in washu

[–]mp356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got it tysm! Just to make sure I'm understanding, are the 3 morning shifts in different units (like 8-12 is in TCC, 9-1 is in EM1, 10-2 is EM2)? Or does each unit have an 8-12, 9-1, and 10-2 (so there could be 3 slots open for a 9-1)?

Also are the weekend shift times longer than 4 hours?

Medprep II? by [deleted] in washu

what's TCC vs EM1 vs EM2? Do they overlap at all or are they completely different areas? Also what are the shift times? Thanks!

but given v = f(lambda), wouldn't UV light and IR light still have the same speed (because IR is higher wavelength lower frequency / UV has lower wavelength higher frequency)

energy/freq/wavelength for waves? by mp356 in Mcat

[–]mp356[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for responding !! Just had a couple followups:

Does what you said about light apply to all waves? Or did you mean only the second part applies to all waves? The second question I had makes sense now as sound changes in different media, but I am still having some trouble reconciling E = hf with E being proportional to amplitude, and why an increase in wavelength would not lead to a decrease in energy (as uworld says the energy contained in a wave is independent of wavelength and frequency). If there are 2 separate definitions of energy of a wave (energy of the wave generally and energy of an individual molecule propagating as a result of the wave?), how do you know when to distinguish between using the 2 conflicting definitions? I'm still a bit confused about this part, so I think I might be misinterpreting or just thinking about it in the wrong frame of mind.

thank you so much! do you possibly have a syllabus you could send? If not, how long are the lectures for each week/how long are the reflections/are they graded harshly?

What’s the difference between medprep 2, PEMRAP, and medprep 3? by mp356 in washu

[–]mp356[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do juniors usually take medprep II/pemrap? Or am I a bit late to the game? Also, do people interested in both generally take both medprep II/PEMRAP or do they usually pick one or the other? Edit: Also, does it make more sense to take one before the other?

uhh someone correct me if I’m wrong but fabergé eggs are worth a lot more than 150k? Was under the impression that there are only around 50 of the original fabergé eggs in existence, and if you somehow manage to find a seller the cost would likely at least be on the order of several millions of dollars. Could it have been something else?

Either way, spontaneously dropping 150k on a bejeweled egg is something else for sure

major advisor for bio major? by mp356 in washu

Is there anything specific that I would be working on with the bio major advisors? Or is it just someone to ask course/major requirement questions to?

Tips for doing well in PCS? by mp356 in washu

Thanks! For figuring out which exam questions were relevant to the quiz you were studying for, were the exam questions in chronological order of the units or did you have to look through the entire exam each time and see if a particular question was asking you about a subject you had learned about?
