PHYC 3010

Experimental Physics II

Lec 01 selected

Designed to give the students a chance to do non-set experiments and thereby encounter and solve the problems of experimentation. Original approaches by the students are encouraged. As the number of experiments is small (three) students should achieve a real understanding of a few physical phenomena. Lecture topics include data& analysis as encountered in the different areas of physics.
