Conversely‚ if we know the structure of the grating‚ we can deduce properties about the incident light‚ in particular its wavelength. This will be our task‚ in this first optics lab exercise. The analysis of diffraction patterns is used extensively in the sciences to provide information about the microscopic structure of molecules‚ atoms‚ and nuclei. In addition to various forms of light (gamma rays‚ x-rays‚ visible light‚ infra-red

Simple Pendulum Experiment In this experiment you will make a simple pendulum consisting of a plumb bob and a piece of string anchored at two points. By attaching the string to two points the normal precession that would occur will be eliminated.

DP Physics IA Thermal physics: Specific Heat Capacity of Metals Introduction: In this experiment we are going to measure the specific heat capacity of a unknown metal. To measure the specific heat capacity we will heat up the metal to certain temperature and release the metal in beaker filled with water. By knowing the mass and temperature of water filled in beaker‚ we will be able to calculate the specific capacity of unknown metal by change in temperature of beaker willed

Module 1 Physics: The Basic Science What this module is about The study of science has two branches namely‚ the life sciences and the physical sciences. The life sciences include biology‚ zoology and botany. The physical sciences branch into areas such as geology‚ astronomy‚ chemistry and physics. However‚ physics is more than part of physical sciences because it does not only deal with matter and energy but it also deals with the other basic concepts like motion‚ forces‚ heat‚ sound‚ light

Projectile Motion Lab: Using a Toy Gun Purpose: The purpose of this investigation is to measure the vertical displacement‚ or height of the launch‚ and the horizontal displacement‚ or range‚ travelled by a projectile (bullet from toy gun). Questions: What is the shape of the actual path travelled by a projectile? How closely does an actual projectile’s results follow the theoretical predicted results? Hypothesis: The shape of the path travelled by the projectile‚ in this case the bullet of

Projectile Motion The purpose of this lab is to study the properties of projectile motion. From the motion of a steel ball projected horizontally‚ the initial velocity of the ball can be determined from the measured range. For a given initial velocity‚ the projectile range will be measured for various initial angles‚ and also calculated by applying the theory for motion with constant acceleration. For further background information‚ refer to the sections in your textbook on projectile motion and motion
