Overview
The general schematic for 471.
PHYS 37100
- Mostly to get familiar with some basic electronics
- Also did some basic plotting and data analysis
PHYS 47100
- We'll use real lab equipment to do physics
- Allows us to spend more time on the analysis
The Course Structure
- There will be 4 or 5 (depending on how scheduling works) primary experiments to do.
- You will work individually (mostly)
- You will have to sign up for slots to do the experiments (link to calendar on main page)
- There will be several smaller scale assignments too. These will be exercises in data analysis primarily.
Software commonly used in physics labs
First project: Oscilloscope
