Course Description
his course consists of 8 experiments that help the students to understand better the course of Physics II: Thermodynamics, Waves and Optics that is based on the book of Serway, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Vol III.
The titles are:
- Transverse and longitudinal waves.
- Thermal expansion of insulators and conductors.
- Measuring the ratio γ=cp/cv with the methods of Clements-Desormes, Ruchardt and Rinkel.
- Visible spectroscopy with a prism and a grating spectrometer.
- Visible spectroscopy with a spectrophotometer and a PC.
- Polarization of light- Kerr effect.
- Thin lenses- fiber optics and renewable energy sources.
- Electromagnetic waves-Michelson interferometer.
