- Contents
- The course is a laboratory of physics consisting of two modules: (1) an introductory module focused on the basic tools of measuring physical quantities: precision, accuracy and sensitivity of a measuring instrument; uncertainty (error) in measurements; propagation of uncertainties (errors); rejection criteria for experimental data, Gaussian distribution for the results of a measurement. (2) an experimental module in which the students will carry out laboratory experiments such as: measure of g, study of uniformly accelerated motion, diffraction of coherent (LASER) light from gratings, spectroscopy, Franck-Hertz experiment, measure of Planck constant h.
