facilities | intro lab

The introductory sequence of physics courses is accompanied by a concurrent laboratory component. The lab sections have several dedicated learning spaces, where the facilities include:

• A diverse collection of experimental equipment dedicated to the study of motion and force
• An array of Macintosh computers equipped with sensors to acquire and analyze data
• Several electronics components:
  • Oscilloscopes
  • Breadboards for circuit design and construction
  • Digital multimeters
  • AC function generators
• Helium-neon lasers for diffraction and holography experiments
• Spectrometers for measurement of atomic spectra
