modules

The practical laboratory work section of this module provides a broad foundation in experimental physics, upon which experimental work in Stage 2 and project work in Stage 3 builds. It starts with a short series of lectures, supplemented with a problems set, on error analysis and graph plotting. Laboratory work is normally undertaken in pairs, with support from demonstrators. Experiments are recorded in lab-books and presented as formal reports. The last of the experiments is done as a larger group and involves joint work on a poster, presented in a conference-like environment, and a formal report.
