Laboratories
| Labs
start the week of January
29, and are held in 4310 Chamberlin. You are not required to keep a lab
notebook - but for each lab you need to fill out and hand in at the end
of each lab a question sheet made available to you on this page. You
are also required to turn in a 'lab writeup' for one of the labs during
the semester - lab MC-12b on Simple Harmonic Motion- during the week of
April 9. You will need to take more extensive notes when you do this
lab. (Details are in the "question sheet" below.) |
| The labs will in most cases closely follow the Physics 207 lab manual (availablel in the University Bookstore), with the questions sheet as a supplement. In a few of the labs, including the first one, the question sheet contains all of the questions you need to answer. |
