- Laboratory Component
- PHYS 2P51 lab sections (L1 Tuesday14:00-17:00 , L2 Thursday 15:00-18:00) are in MC H308. The lab instructor is Frank Benko (B210A, ext. 3417,
fbenko@brocku.ca) who should be contacted for all queries concerning the laborarory component of the course.
-
An introduction to the Laboratory will be held on Tues. Jan 16th at 2:00 pm in H308
and Thurs. Jan 18th at 3:00 pm in H308. Attendance is mandatory.
A schedule indicating which labs you will
carry out on given weeks will be formed after this meeting.
-
There will be a total of six labs which you must perform.
You must submit a formal report for the five marked with an asterisk
(*) below. For the holography lab you must submit a short
essay,
(approximately
3-4 pages in length) which describes what a hologram is, and
how it is created. You should explain the difference between
reflection and transmission holograms, and briefly mention
some more advanced types and their uses.
You may include figures, and all literature sources used as reference must be properly cited.
This essay is
to be handed in at the start of the lab period in which you have been
assigned to do the holography lab. The essay will count towards
your laboratory grade.
- The labs deal with
the following topics:
- Lenses (*)
- Prism (*)
- Michelson Interferometer (*)
- Speed of Light (*)
- Interference (*)
- Holography
- The due dates of the five formal reports will depend on your lab schedule and will be assigned by Frank Benko :
Late submissions will be penalized at a rate of 20% per day late
including weekends. You must complete and submit
reports for all labs in order to pass the course.
