Senior Freshman Labs
- The Franck-Hertz Curve was the first experiment we did, so forgive me if the report isn't the best. I don't even know what I got because the guy never told me. Bit odd, I thought. Folder
- Craters of the Moon is next. This report nearly killed me. This is actually the second time for me doing this lab because I managed to lose my usb key containing the only copy of the original report... AS I WAS TRYING TO PRINT IT!!!. Folder
- Gates and Flip-Flops was a lovely experiment. got a 9.5 on this one. Well 9... the marker kept asking me if she could lower it. Had a typo, fixed it. Folder
- The Geiger Counter was easily the most boring experiment I've done in my life. The problem was having to come back to flip a switch every five minutes. Very easy experiment and report otherwise. Folder
- The Cornu Method inspired me to learn how to graph things using Mathematica. It's not pretty, and don't expect to see any Mathematica graphs until next year. ANYTHING except Origin... Folder
- The Michelson Interferometer and RC Filter Networks are still to be written. The Fresnel Biprism unfortunately got pikied along with my usb key. Complabs coming soon.
I might put up a short tutorial on graphing with Mathematica, following along the lines of how one would do it in Excel, including regression. For now, you can try to decipher what I have in Graphing.nb. I have a nice little function defined in there near the end where you just put in your formatted data, your errors, the function you want to fit it to and the variables of that function and the graph options. It might be easier to just stick with Excel for the moment though...
