This book is intended for use in Physics laboratories as a workbook for carrying out practical physics experiments by secondary school students and first year higher institution students. The objective is to have an all-in-one workbook from which various relevant physics experiments can be performed in a manner that also prepares students for practical physics examinations especially those of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the National Examination Council (NECO).
This textbook is required for use by the students on campus at Chattanooga State. If you are an online student, you may wish to buy the one without MapleTA. It has an extra homework assignment done by Maple, an online company. Practical Physics for College Students was developed for a one semester course for technical college and community college students. It could be used as a preparatory book for General Physics, or even in a high school physics class.
This is one of enumerable self-help or how to books with an emphasis on Engineering Physics Practical. The basic premise of the book is that there are certain simple experiments, involving no more than rudimentary Physics laws and the very basic laws of Engineering Physics for undergraduate college engineering students. But these practical are often not done or taken lightly, for several reasons. First, people don’t realize how easy they are to do. Second, and more fundamental, they are not done because it does not occur to people to do them. Finally, and tragically, no one in their elementary, middle, or high school educational experience has stressed the importance of doing them, and of course neither did they teach to do them. This book is to reveal to you what the experiments are, make them readily understandable, and by means of a very easy-to-use illustrations. The main thing you should expect from this book is the theories and practical related small information more precisely about experiments. You will get a rudimentary understanding of the basic concepts behind the Engineering Physics experiment that governs the fundamental daily life questions that challenge us in life. The book is divided into seven major categories and Fifteen chapters. In this book the students will find solutions to experimental obstacles normally faced by undergraduate college engineering students. students. In summary, you don’t need any special background or ability to profit from this book.
This practical guide covers the essential tasks in statistical data analysis encountered in high energy physics and provides comprehensive advice for typical questions and problems. The basic methods for inferring results from data are presented as well as tools for advanced tasks such as improving the signal-to-background ratio, correcting detector effects, determining systematics and many others. Concrete applications are discussed in analysis walkthroughs. Each chapter is supplemented by numerous examples and exercises and by a list of literature and relevant links. The book targets a broad readership at all career levels - from students to senior researchers. An accompanying website provides more algorithms as well as up-to-date information and links. * Free solutions manual available for lecturers at www.wiley-vch.de/supplements/
"Designed to be a complete physics curriculum level 7 practical programme. ... Practicals are based on the content of physics achievement standards 2.3, 2.4 and 2.6, covering mechanics, electricity, light and waves"--Back cover. Suggested level: senior secondary.
This book describes more than thirty physics practicals at high school and undergraduate levels with background information on each one, a description of the equipment needed, and instructions on how the experiment is performed. Uniquely, for those without access to a real laboratory, the book provides access to highly detailed 3D simulations of all the experiments. The simulations are a superset of the Virtual Physics Laboratory as reviewed and given the Green Tick of Approval by the Association for Science Education. They run in any browser that supports WebGL, such as Microsoft Edge or Firefox on Windows and Safari on Mac. For the school or university student who wants to practice and widen their knowledge of physics, or for those who are learning on their own, this is an ideal book for honing and broadening experimental skills. The simulations are the result of many years researching the teaching of online science, a field in which the author has published many papers.
