20410014 - ESPERIMENTAZIONI DI FISICA II

The student acquires skills in the use of instruments for measuring electrical quantities and in the practical implementation of simple electrical circuits in direct and alternating current conditions; acquires awareness of the consistency of experimental data with the theoretically expected results, achieving mastery in applying the theory of errors to data analysis and in the graphical representation on a linear and logarithmic scale of the experimental results. Do observe and interpret optical effects related to refraction, diffraction and interference of light.

Any textbook on Physics, Electronics e Statistics for the degree course on Physic

Type of delivery of the course

Lectures devoted to explain basic electronics, to evaluate uncertainties and to analyse experimental data. After this first part, the students are arranged in small groups to face 8 lab practices, evaluated for the final rank

Attendance

the theoretical lessons in the classroom are optional, but the practical exercises in the laboratory are compulsory

Type of evaluation

The final examination is based on two parts. The first is a lab practice done singly and based on arguments close to the ones face out by the students during the lab practices. The second part is based on a standard colloquium on the items discussed in the lessons.
