Course/Module description:
The teaching laboratory is divided into 6 experiments, grouped into 3 modules:

1. Waves
a.Interferometry
b.Ripple bath
c.Young's slit experiment
2. Atomic Physics
a.Frank - Hertz experiment.
b.The photoelectric effect.
3.Linear Response and the Frequency Domain
a.Linear response in RCL circuits

Course/Module aims:
The aim of the Laboratory is to give Electrical Engineering students an introduction to experimental physics,including the practicalities of experimental work and error analysis.
The course also tries to illuminate some of the theory the student learns in his basic introduction course for waves and circuit theory by practical experiments

Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
Understand the concept of Errors in experimental work.
Use basic error analysis.
Understand basic data representation and graphing techniques.

Attendance requirements(%):
100

Teaching arrangement and method of instruction: Lab work is carried out in pairs under the auspices of a teaching assistant.
Each experiment must include a Lab report.
The course is culminated by a student presentation on one of their experimental studies.

Course/Module Content:
The experiments are:
a.Interferometry
b.Ripple bath
c.Young's slit experiment
d.Frank - Hertz experiment.
e.The photoelectric effect.
f.Linear response in RCL circuits

Required Reading:
Introduction to waves
Introduction to basic circuit theory.
