PS 16/84 General Physics Lab II This laboratory is designed to allow students a greater understanding of electromagnetic phenomena, wave phenomena, and optics, in support of General Physics II. Measurements of microscopic quantities, like the charge and mass of the electron, give the students an opportunity to explore the structure of matter. Other experiments involve the physics of electrical currents, electric properties of bulk matter, magnetic fields and their effect on beams, wave phenomena, the nature of light and its interaction with optical materials. In terms of experimental skills, this course shares the same objectives as PS 15/83L, i.e., measurement techniques, data and error analysis and instrumentation. A weekly report is required.
