Synopsis

A laboratory manual for high schools, colleges, and universities. The second edition contains more than 140 experiments and demonstrations presented in ten chapters: Introductory Experiments (30), Mechanics (11), Molecular Physics (11), Electricity and Magnetism (13), Optics and Atomic Physics (12), Condensed Matter Physics (11), Semiconductors (10), Applied Physics (11), Nobel Prize Experiments (10), and Student Projects (25). All the experiments are illustrated through the results of real measurements. New experiments developed by the author in 2007–2014 are added to this edition.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

A laboratory manual for high schools, colleges, and universities, this book contains more than 80 experiments and lecture demonstrations. The coverage includes the essentials of general physics: mechanics and molecular physics, electricity and magnetism, optics and atomic physics, and condensed matter physics. All the experiments are illustrated through the results of real measurements and include many novel experiments developed by the author.

This second edition is an extended version of the first, including new experiments and demonstrations based on the papers published by the author in 2007 2012.

Review:

Reviews of the First Edition:

" ...Yaakov Kraftmakher... has written a nearly encyclopedic book containing 88 experiments and demonstrations that he has developed, adapted, or refined for his university... Kraftmakher's book is a truly impressive work, with something for everyone... And it is especially helpful to those who already use PASCO equipment." -- Julien C Sprott, Physics Today, March 2008

"...I would recommend this book for any one setting up labs for an undergraduate program for physics majors. These experiments should be an excellent preparation for a career involving experimental physics... Many of these experiments would serve well as a source of ideas for undergraduate research projects..." -- Richard M Fuller, Amazon Reviews, 27 April 2008

"...The demonstrations are broken up into chapters covering different aspects of physics, fairly typically. The chapter on Nobel Prize experiments is a little unusual, but quite impressive. Each experiment has notes on how to do it, diagrams and photos in black and white, and a chunk of relevant scientific theory..." -- Gary Williams, Physics Education, May 2008
