The following pages are intended to serve as a book of reference to the student working in a physical laboratory. The experiments described are not intended for a beginner, but are suited for a student who has already spent a little time in the laboratory and worked through a more elementary cost of experiments, such as so that described in the author's Elementary Practical Physics . (Preface) Contents. Methods used in the reduction and discussion of the results of physical measurements - Measurements of length - Weighing Density - Elasticity of solids The pendulum-measurement of "g" and rating of a chronometer - Surface tension and viscosity The barometer - Thermometry - Expansion of solids and liquids - Thermal expansion of gases - Calorimetry - Calorimetry-latent heat - Vapour pressure - Vapour density-freezing and boiling points of solutions - Melting point-ratio of specific heats-conductivity - Sound - Refractive index - Dispersion and wave-length measurements - Interference - Lenses and mirrors - Polarised light - Photometry and colour vision - Measurement of the earth's magnetic field - Adjustment and use of Galvanometers - Measurement of resistance - The resistance of electrolytes - Measurement of electromotive force - Resistance Thermometers and Thermo-Junctions - Measurement of current - The ballistic Galvanometer and measurement of capacity - Measurement of self and mutual induction - Permeability The quadrant electrometer.
