Aim of the course

The basic aim of the course is to acquaint students with the phenomena of classical physics in practice and introduce them into the basics of experimental physics and metrology. The additional aim of the course is also to develop students' ability to plan and conduct physical measurements and to analyse obtained results.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and optics in the framework of the basic physics course. Ability to determine uncertainty of measurements.

Scope

The following laboratory works are conducted during the classes:

Determination of gravitational acceleration using a reversing pendulum.

Determination of shear modulus by dynamic method.

Determination of Cp/Cv ratio for air by the Clement-Desormes method.

Determination of density of liquids and solids using a pycnometer.

The Quinke's interferometer.

Determination of charge and capacitance of the capacitor.

Measuring of electrical resistance, checking of the Ohm's law.

Study of DC circuit (checking of the I and II Kirchoff's laws).

Study of electromagnetic resonance.

Study of ferromagnetic hysteresis loop.

Determination of lens focal length using the lens equation and the Bessel method.

Determination of diffraction grating constant by a laser.

Assignment conditions

The performance of the laboratory works together with their elaboration (in the form of written report that contain the analysis of the obtained result and description of the used method) is the main condition for passing of the course. The rating of the individual laboratory works consists of:

- rating of preparation for laboratory classes – 25%

- rating of performance of laboratory works – 25%

- rating of the prepared report – 50%.
