Opis

Designed for students who are taking their first course in physics, this manual provides a large selection of classical laboratory experiments. Many of these experiments are written with multiple procedures to accommodate several popular approaches to their solution. Concise procedures are given for each experiment, and a number have special error analyses. A set of questions follows each experiment to allow a greater understanding of the events.
