DOWNLOAD EBOOKALTHOUGH text-books of practical physics are now fairly numerous, the demonstrators in physics of the University of Toronto appear to have found it impossible to adapt any of the existing ones to the requirements of their students. The same difficulty has been experienced in most English laboratories, partly on account of the diversity which exists between the apparatus of the various institutions, and partly because of the different aims of students working in them. Consequently nearly every laboratory possesses instruction-sheets, either in print or manuscript, which have in some instances been edited and issued in book form; the present volume is a case in point. The experiments described in the book are arranged in two courses, elementary and advanced, in the former of which weighing and measuring, light and heat, are included, while the advanced course consists of sound, advanced heat, electricity, and magnetism. Some easy experiments in electricity and magnetism might have been included in the elementary course, otherwise the selection is a fairly good and useful one. The section on sound contains figures and descriptions of Helmholtz's and K�nig's apparatus for various experiments, but many students' laboratories in this country are, unfortunately, not equipped with large electrically-driven tuning-forks and chronographs. Experimental details are sometimes omitted; for example, in describing the use of the spectrometer as a goniometer, the student is not told how to focus the telescope and adjust the slit so as to obtain a parallel beam of light from the collimator. In the same experiment it is erroneously stated that the edge of the crystal must coincide with the axis of the instrument, whereas the two need only be parallel to each other if the collimator is properly adjusted. Again, in calorimetric measurements, errors arising from radiation between the calorimeter and its surroundings are not very adequately discussed; the calorimeter is supposed in all experiments to alter its temperature at a uniform rate, and matters are so arranged that the mean between its initial and final temperatures is that of the atmosphere. In specific heat determinations a preliminary experiment is necessary in order to satisfy the latter condition, and the assumption of uniform rise of temperature is only approximately true, even when the body under experiment is a good conductor of heat. The book is printed in a bold, clear type, and its illustrations are good; it will be found a useful addition to the laboratory bookshelf. -Philosophical Magazine

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents experiments which will teach physics relevant to astronomy. The astronomer, as instructor, frequently faces this need when his college or university has no astronomy department and any astronomy course is taught in the physics department. The physicist, as instructor, will find this intellectually appealing when faced with teaching an introductory astronomy course. From these experiments, the student will acquire important analytical tools, learn physics appropriate to astronomy, and experience instrument calibration and the direct gathering and analysis of data. Experiments that can be performed in one laboratory session as well as semester-long observation projects are included.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from An Annotated List of Experiments in Physics Used at the University of Cincinnati in the Courses in Experimental Physics Designed for Sophomore Students of the Academic and Engineering Colleges This is not intended to be a course in Experimental Physics, but, as its title implies, merely an annotated list of some 270 experiments, any one of which might be profitably performed by a sophomore student in college. As a rule no attempt has been made to describe the experiment, but a reference has been given to a full description of it in a standard manual or text book. In the references, for the sake of brevity, the name of the author has been given without the title of the work. Below, therefore, is a list of the books referred to with their publishers: Ames and Bliss, Experiments in Physics, Harper Brothers, 1898. Barker, Physics, second edition, Henry Holt Co. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Laboratory Course in Experimental Physics At the present day, when students are required to gain knowledge of natural phenomena by performing experiments for themselves in laboratories, every teacher finds that as his classes increase in number, some difficulty is experienced in providing, during a limited time, ample instruction in the matter of details and methods. During the past few years we ourselves have had such difficulties with large classes; and that is our reason for the appearance of the present work, which is the natural outcome of our experience. We know that it will be of service to our own students, and hope that it will be appreciated by those engaged in teaching Experimental Physics elsewhere. The book contains a series of elementary experiments specially adapted for students who have had but little acquaintance with higher mathematical methods: these are arranged as far as possible in order of difficulty. There is also an advanced course of experimental work in Acoustics, Heat, and Electricity and Magnetism, which is intended for those who have taken the elementary course.
