Physics laboratory I

Students perform practical work from the field of mechanical physics, waves and interference. By the end of this course student will be able to perform a simple experiment including these steps:

• preparation for the experiment, literature check
• measurement and data collection
• statistical analysis of data, model linearization, calculation of linear coefficients and their error
• writting a report of measurement and results of analysis defense of results

Physics I (1FAF03)
Experimental methods (1FAF04)

INTRODUCTION: Analysis and presentation of results, which are obtained during experiments
EXPERIMENT: Foucalt pendulum
EXPERIMENT: Torsional pendulum
EXPERIMENT: Carts collisions (accelerated motion and conservation laws)
EXPERIMENT: Measurement of viscosity EXPERIMENT: Michelson interferometry

By the end of this course student will be able to perform a simple experiment including these steps:

preparation for the experiment, literature check measurement and data collection
statistical analysis of data, model linearization, calculation of linear coefficients and their error

writting a report of measurement and results of analysis defense of results

Each experiment contains a written instructions with the list of relevant readings.

• Examination of lab. notes
• Delivered reports
• Oral defense of reports
