Practical Physics

Role: Lab instructor

This is a practical course that further develops the core experimental and computational skills necessary to do Physics: mathematical models, computational simulations and solutions, experimental measurements, data and error analysis. Students are working in a team of two or three for the sections with an odd number of students. Laboratory experiments cover the following topics:

• Electric DC and AC Circuits
• Classic Experiments in Measuring Fundamental Constants (G, g, e, e/m, R, h)
• Magnetic Fields
• Mechanical and Electromagnetic Waves
• Wave Optics
• Particle Physics
• Quantum Physics
• Thermal Physics
