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 some
assigned homework from the textbook An Introduction to Error Analysis by
John R. Taylor listed here: Physics
