HAP512P Experimental Physics (3 ECTS)

Overview

Description:

Laboratory Work in Various Fields of Physics.

The various topics covered include the study of mechanical oscillating systems (pendulums), the study of acoustic waves, wave optics (diffraction and interference), practical applications of electronic circuits (impedance of a transmission line, characterization of diodes, LEDs, and photodiodes), and the study of the properties of matter (magnetism, the photoelectric effect, and the Faraday effect). 

Objectives:

These laboratory exercises are designed to develop students’ experimental skills in physics through data collection, analysis, and presentation.

The variety of topics covered allows students to learn about various measuring instruments and to apply theoretical concepts to experimental physics.
