Physics Laboratory Experiments, International Edition

This market-leading manual for the first-year physics laboratory course offers a wide range of class-tested experiments designed specifically for use in small to mid-size lab programs. A series of integrated experiments emphasizes the use of computerized instrumentation and includes a set of "computer-assisted experiments" to allow students and instructors to gain experience with modern equipment. This option also enables instructors to determine the appropriate balance between traditional and computer-based experiments for their courses. By analyzing data through two different methods, students gain a greater understanding of the concepts behind the experiments. The Seventh Edition is updated with the latest information and techniques involving state-of-the-art equipment, and a new Guided Learning feature addresses the growing interest in guided-inquiry pedagogy. Fourteen additional experiments are also available through custom printing.

Sommario

Note: Experiments that incorporate both traditional and computerized instruction are denoted with a "TI/CI" abbreviation. In some instances, the TI and CI components are not the same, so the title for each component is listed separately. The "GL" abbreviation precedes experiments that feature a Guided-Learning format. Experiments without an accompanying abbreviation only involve traditional instruction.Experiments available in bound volume:1. Experimental Uncertainty (Error) and Data Analysis.2.
