Advanced Physics Laboratory

(4 Credits)

A further development of the experimental techniques introduced in Foundations of Science as applied to modern physics. Following a number of introductory experiments, students have at their option a variety of open-ended experiments they can pursue, including the use of microcomputers for data analysis. Experimental areas include Mossbauer effect, cosmic rays, magnetic resonance, superfluidity and super-conductivity, and relativistic mass. Prerequisite: PHYS-SHU 95 Found of Physics III Honors. Fulfillment: Physics required.
