Physics 2122:
Physics for Scientists and Engineers II Laboratory
The following experiments were set up in the lab during the semester
(Fall 1999). Sign up sheets are available in the Laboratory
for students to reserve equipment for a particular session.
The class periods or times when the Laboratory is open are posted there.
The schedule is the same as that given
for Physics 2121.
For students with disabilities who are not able to perform the scheduled
laboratory experiments,
alternate projects are available as listed below.
Consult with
the Chairperson of the
Department of Physics and Astronomy and the
Office of
Disability Support Services for clarification regarding circumstances
and situations when these projects would be an appropriate alternative.
All chapter numbers refer to the chapters in the following textbook:
Fishbane, P.M., Gasiorowicz, S., and S.T. Thornton, Physics for Scientists
and Engineers, 2d ed., Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Prentice Hall,
1996.
Twelve (12) experiments are required in one semester.
