THE EXPERIMENTS:
Our list of experiments,
given in the table below, covers topics in optics and modern physics.
As much as possible they will be self contained with no specific prior
knowledge or experience assumed. Note that three experiments (3,
6, and 10) will require two laboratory periods to complete and will
be worth 40 points, where all the others are worth 20 points. In addition
to the labs there is assigned homework in the text on the following
