| Abstract | Introductory lab course in experimental physics | ||||
| Learning objective | The overarching topic of the student lab is an understanding of the fundamental challenges in experimental physics. The following aspects are particularly important: - Why does one conduct experiments, and how should an experiment be planned? - How does one set up an experiment? What are the important characteristics of measurement instruments and methods? - Introduction to basic statistical data analysis - Critical interpretation of measurement results - Scientific communication, reporting, graphic representation of results - Ethical aspects of experimental research and reporting | ||||
| Content | Experiments with examples from mechanics, optics, thermodynamics, electricity and radiation. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Anleitung zum Physikalischen Praktikum; Vorlesungszusammenfassung | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | 9 Experiments have to be conducted (typically in teams of 2). In the first week, only an introductory event is taking place in the lecture hall. This event provides relevant information regarding safety and organisational matters (e.g. testat conditions). Students must pass an online safety test to be allowed to conduct experiments in the lab. It is recommended that every student acquires an individually adjusted safety goggle | ||||
