Intermediate Laboratory Work · Physics
Experimental Setup, Collecting Data, Data Analysis and Erorr Analysis, understanding sources of errors within experiments, linking observed data in the lab to the underlying theories, understanding and resolving discrepancies that arise in experimental work, etc.
How to work with programming languages IGOR and Arduino IDE language, learned CAD modeling in Solidworks, learned how to use and Arduino, laser +optics physics, 3d printing, how to debug instrumentation, etc
NMR experiment operation. Data processing. Using Latex to draft report
Only do it if your major require it, most experimental apparatus are out of date and there are not many
How to operate oscilloscopes and write lab reports.
Calculating muon lifetime and finding masses of galaxies through gravitational lensing.
Depends on the experiment you chose specifically, but learned about the hardware used to conduct higher-level physics experiments
I learned how to analyze and collect data.
This is not too taxing if you choose the right experiment that doesn't have too much data analysis. It can get time consuming otherwise. However, the Professor and TA's are always there in any case, and will help with anything you need. The experiments are interesting, and you learn a lot.
I just can't like performing experiments and I hate that I'm forced to do them. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2022 Course: PHYSUN3081_003_2022_3-INTERMEDIATELABORATORYWORK : PHYSUN3081_003_2022_3 - INTERMEDIATE LABORATORY WORK Instructor: Morgan May
