| Abstract | Introductory lab course in experimental physics with accompanying lecture | |||||
| Learning objective | Übergeordnetes Thema des Praktikums und der Vorlesung ist die Auseinandersetzung mit den grundlegenden Herausforderungen eines physikalischen Experimentes. Am Beispiel einfacher experimenteller Aufbauten und Aufgaben stehen vor allem folgende Gesichtspunkte im Vordergrund: - Motivation und Herangehensweise in der Experimentalphysik - Praktischer Aufbau von Experimenten und grundlegende Kenntnisse von Messmethoden und Instrumenten - Einführung in relevante statistische Methoden der Datenauswertung und Fehleranalyse - Kritische Beurteilung und Interpretation der Beobachtungen und Ergebnisse - Darstellen und Kommunizieren der Ergebnisse mit Graphiken und Text - Ethische Aspekte der experimentellen Forschung und wissenschaftlicher Kommunikation | |||||
| Content | Versuche zu Themen aus den Bereichen der Mechanik, Optik, Wärme, Elektrizität und Kernphysik mit begleitender Vorlesung zur Vertiefung des Verständnisses der Datenanalyse und Interpretation | |||||
| Lecture notes | Anleitung zum Physikalischen Praktikum (siehe https://ap.phys.ethz.ch); Vorlesungsskript | |||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Aus einer Liste von 33 Experimenten müssen 8 Experiment ausgewählt und in Zweiergruppen durchgeführt werden. Voraussetzungen: - Physik I | |||||
| 402-0240-00L | Advanced Physics Laboratory II  Prerequiste: "Advanced Physics Laboratory I" completed. Before enroling in "Advanced Physics Laboratory II", please enrol in "Advanced Physics Laboratory I". Enrol at most once in the course of the Bachelor programme! | W | 9 credits | 18P | C. Grab, T. M. Ihn | |
| Abstract | This laboratory course provides basic training of experimental skills. These are experimental design, implementation, measurement, data analysis and interpretation, as well as error analysis. The experimental work has to be complemented by a concise written report, which trains the scientific writing skills. Manuals for the individual experiments are available in English. | |||||
| Learning objective | Students learn to independently perform advanced experiments and document them scientifically correct. The following aspects are emphasized: - understanding complicated physical phenomena - structured approach to experiments with complex instruments - various practical aspects of experimenting and determining uncertainties - learning the relevant statistical methods for data analysis - interpretation of measurements and uncertainties - describing the experiments and the results in a scientifically proper manner, in direct analogy to publishing - ethical aspects of experimental research and scientific communication | |||||
| Content | We offer experiments covering the following topics: Basic topics from mechanics, optics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and electronics; as well as central topics from nuclear and particle physics, quantum electronics, quantum mechanics, solid state physics and astrophysics. | |||||
| Lecture notes | Instructions for experiments are available in English. | |||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | From a variety of over 50 experiments, students have to perform 4 experiments covering different topics. The experimental work is complemented by writing a scientific report. | |||||
