Course of Experiments in Physical Measurement, Vol. 1 of 4: Density, Heat, Light, and Sound (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Hands-on experiments in physical measurement illuminate density, heat, light, and sound.
This edition guides you through practical techniques and clear steps to explore foundational ideas with real lab tools. Expect careful setup, careful observation, and direct readings that help you test your inferences about measurement and interpretation.
The material emphasizes how to observe, measure, and verify physical phenomena. You’ll encounter methods using a sextant to measure angles, a spectrometer to study light, and devices to test pressure, vapor, and interference. The instructions stress accuracy, handling of equipment, and checking for errors to ensure meaningful results. The book combines theory with doable experiments you can perform and compare against expected values.- Learn to determine prism angles and refraction using instruments like a sextant and a spectrometer.
- See how to set up and interpret readings for pressure, vapor pressure, and related physical quantities.
- Explore sound waves, interference, resonance, and musical intervals through hands-on tests.
- Develop careful observation habits and methods to test hypotheses against measured data.
