| 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 | ||||
| 402-0000-02L | Laboratory Course in Physics for Students in Food Sciences Enrollment is only possible under https://www.lehrbetrieb.ethz.ch/laborpraktika. No registration required via myStudies. For further information visit: https://ap.phys.ethz.ch Only students from 3rd Semester BSc Food Science on are admitted to this Laboratory Course. | 2 credits | 4P | A. Biland, A. Eggenberger, A. Müller | |
| Abstract | The central aim is to provide an individual experience of the physical phenomena and the basic principles of the experiment. By conducting simple physical experiments the student will learn how to properly use physical instruments and how to evaluate the results correctly. | ||||
| Learning objective | This laboratory course aims to provide basic knowledge of - the setup of a physics experiment, - the use of measurement instruments, - various measuring techniques, - the analysis or measurement errors, - and the interpretation of the measured quantities. | ||||
| Content | Sicherheit im Praktikum; Fehlerrechnung und Berichte verfassen; 6 ausgewählte Versuche zu unterschiedlichen Themen. Die Auswahl der Versuche kann zwischen den einzelnen Studiengängen variieren. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Anleitungen zum Physikalischen Praktikum | ||||
