Kraftmakher Y. Experiments and demonstrations in physics. Bar-Ilan physics laboratory

2nd edition. — World Scientific Publishing Co., 2014. — 784 p.The book is addressed to physicists involved in teaching physics at different levels (high school, college, and university), and to advanced students. Mainly, the book contains computer-assisted experiments and demonstrations. As a rule, such experiments may be perfomed in a short time, and many of the laboratory experiments may also serve as lecture demonstrations. Most of the experiments and demonstrations employ the Science Workshop 750 Interface with DataStudio software or the 850 Universal Interface with Capstone software from PASCO scientific. The new data-acquistion system is much more powerful than previous PASCO systems and provides new possibilities for creating or improving laboratory experiments and classroom demonstrations. It can be conveniently used in student laboratories. Additional equipment for the experiments was purchased mainly from PASCO.
The book contains 144 experiments and demonstrations.
The first chapter, Introductory Experiments, describes experiments and demonstrations suitable for high schools and colleges (30 items). The subsequent chapters relate to Mechanics (11), Molecular Physics (11), Electricity and Magnetism (13), Optics and Atomic Physics (12), Consedensed Matter Physics (11), Semiconductors (10), and Applied Physics (11). A special chapter, Nobel Prize Experiments, contains some milestone experiments of the twentieth century (10). The last chapter comprises Student Projects (25), which are addressed mainly to students of high schools and colleges.
The list of references given in the book contains about 1200 items.Introductory Experiments
