Kraftmakher Y. Experiments And Demonstrations in Physics: Bar-Ilan Physics Laboratory

World Scientific Publishing Company, 2007. — 533 p.The book is addressed to physicists involved in teaching physics at different levels (high school, college, and university), and to advanced students. Mainly, the book contains computer-assisted experiments and demonstrations. As a rule, such experiments may be performed in a short time, and many of the laboratory experiments may also serve as lecture demonstrations. Most of the experiments and demonstrations employ the Science Works hop data-acquisition system with DataStudio software from PASCO scientific. It is very convenient to use this system in student laboratories. Additional equipment for the experiments was purchased mainly from PASCO.
The book contains 88 experiments and demonstrations.
The first chapter, Introductory Experiments, describes experiments suitable for high schools (20 items). The subsequent chapters include experiments and demonstrations in Mechanics and Molecular Physics (10), Electricity and Magnetism (10), Optics and Atomic Physics (10), and Condensed Matter Physics (8). A chapter, Nobel Prize Experiments, contains several milestone experiments of the twentieth century (8). An additional chapter comprises Student Projects (22), which are addressed mainly to students of high schools and colleges.Introductory Experiments
