Techniques in Experimental Physics II

Undergraduate

All physics hypotheses, models, and theories need to be tested and verified through experiments to ensure their validity in representing the observable universe. This course is a continuation of PHYS-3900, with an emphasis on experimental design, modelling, simulation, and construction. Topics may include design and fabrication of apparatus, microprocessor programming, sources of noise, and noise reduction in measurements. (Prerequisites: PHYS-3900 or consent of instructor.) (1.5 hours of laboratory and 1.5 hours of tutorial per week.)
