Experiments in Physics is for a calculus-based, introductory physics course. It consists of an introduction followed by thirty-two experiments. The experiments follow the order of topics in traditional texts: mechanics, heat, electricity, magnetism, optics and modern physics. Each experiment is divided into four major sections: APPARATUS: A List of equipment; INTRODUCTION: A partial development of the appropriate theoretical concepts; OUTCOMES: A list of the primary objectives; EXPERIMENT: Directions for the experimental procedure with questions included. Many of the experiments have optional...

Fills the need for an experimental physics text. There are three main sections of the text. The first is an introduction that offers valuable insights into the importance of the human element in physics and traces the course of its historical development. This section also explains the objectives of the physics laboratory and the skills you must master to maintain a Notebook'' and analyze data, and presents a general discussion of spectroscopy experiments. The second section discusses the unique and valuable role of the computer in the laboratory and explains how to use it; software is...
