Physics Lab Experiments

by Matthew M. J. French

This book aims to guide both the experimentalist and theoretician through their compulsory laboratory courses forming part of an undergraduate physics degree. The rationale behind this book is to show students and interested readers the value and beauty within a carefully planned and executed experiment, and to help them to develop the skills to carry out experiments themselves. Brief Table of Contents 1: Introduction. 2: Safety. 3: Making Measurements. 4: Data Analysis and Errors. 5: Presenting Results. 6: Common Experiments. About the Author Matthew French holds a PhD in experimental condensed matter physics. He spent four years demonstrating experiments in the first year physics laboratory and is at present Head of Physics at Prior Park College.
