AP80363 Experimental Physics

The module "Experimental Physics" (AP80363) is taken by students in the department of Physics during the first semester of the second year. Having taken the modules of Classical Mechanics I and Electricity and Magnetism, these students have at this level enough background in Physics to do experiments, manipulate instruments and even design new experimental set up.  At the end of the module, students should be able to 

1. Set up an experiment as per description in the laboratory protocol;
2. Manipulate the instruments and record experimental data;
3. Analyze experimental data and record correctly the outcome (with possible error);
4. Write a report to communicate correctly the experimental results. 

Note that one lab experiment can be run in one, two or more laboratory sessions depending on the legth of the maipulations or the level of difficulty.
