Individual Preliminary Laboratory B 1100-1Ind08
During the course students perform simple experimental exercises in the laboratory. They are related to different subjects: mechanics, thermodynamics, electrics, optics and nuclear physics. The subject contains also the lecture on data analysis (7 weeks, 2 hours per week). The lecture gives a short introduction into a broad spectrum of topics important in everyday laboratory practice: planning of experiments, data acquisition, presentation and analysis of the results with particular attention paid to statistical description of experimental uncertainties.
Student is obliged to take part in 10x3hour sessions of experimental exercises and demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the analysis of experimental uncertainties. Experiments are performed individually.
Student prepares him/herself to each class according to the written instruction for the particular exercise and TA recommendations. Then he/she performs the experiment and finally analyses the data and writes a report assording to the rules of the laboratory and TA instructions.
