Physics Laboratory
Volledige vakbeschrijving
This skill will contain: • Design, use and measurement in physical experimentation; • Gathering data using automated processes; • Data manipulation and analysis using modern tools such as MATLAB or python; • Experiments in mechanics (Gyroscope dynamics, Driven Damped Harmonic Oscillator), Quantum Physics (Photoelectric Effect, Blackbody Radiation, Atomic Spectra), and Electrodynamics (Charge of the Electron (Millikan’s experiment), Faraday's Law of Induction Experiment).Doelstellingen van dit vak
This practical is aimed at obtaining a deeper understanding of physics by performing various key experiments in the areas of Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, and Electromagnetism. Examples are the photoelectric effect, blackbody radiation, angular momentum, Faraday’s law, and the Coulomb’s law. The focus will be on the design and execution of the experiments and their relation to the fundamental laws and principles of physics. Another objective is the further training of physical laboratory techniques and procedures. Furthermore, attention will be paid on data analysis and reporting. This lab relates to level 200 physics courses such as Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, and Electromagnetism.Voorwaarden
