Experimental Physics I: Mechanics,
Heat and Fields
2 credit hours
Methods of experimental physics.
Intended for physics majors and science and engineering students who desire
a more rigorous approach. Experiments are chose from areas of mechanics
(PHYS 171), gas laws, heat, and static electromagnetic fields. Theory
and applications of erroranalysis is also covered.
Prerequisite: PHYS 171 (orPHYS
161), and PHYS 174
Corequisite: PHYS 272
NOTE: Some CORE
lab-science courses list lecture and Laboratory portions under different
numbers (e.g. PHYS 272/275). Students under CORE program requirements
must take both the lecture and the laboratory course during the same semester
in order to receive CORE credit. PHYS 272 does NOT count as a non-lab science
under CORE requirements.
Instructors:
Profs. E. Beise and D. Boyd
