Descriptif
In Advanced Lab I, students have the opportunity to apply the physics knowledge they acquired in PHY201 and PHY202. PHY203 consists of 7 distinct lab sessions of 4 hours each. It provides an in-depth study of a wide range of physical phenomena such as electronics, wave-optics (diffraction, interference and polarization of light), and the mechanics of solid bodies (inertial reference frames, generalized coordinates and energy conservation laws, coupled oscillators).
Objectifs pédagogiques
Upon course completion, students will have acquired advanced experimental skills allowing them to set up, carry out and analyze critically experiments in physics and mechanics.
