An advanced laboratory course providing students with opportunities to conduct sophisticated experiments such as measuring the universal gravitational constant with the Cavendish experiment, exploring the Hall effect, measuring crystal spacing using x-ray spectroscopy, studying gamma-ray spectroscopy, exploring nuclear magnetic moments with an Earth’s field NMR system, and studying ground-state hyperfine splitting using a diode-laser system. Emphasis is placed on experiment design, error analysis, model evaluation, and professional presentations. Credit, 3 hours.
