Physics Experiments and Projects for Students - Softcover

This volume is based on a collection of undergraduate experiments and projects developed at universities, polytechnics and schools exhibited at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST). These experiments have been performed by many students over a period of several years. Consequently they have been well tested and can be recommended to any undergraduate laboratory. The book covers a wide range of topics and describes experimental procedures designed to develop students' understanding of subjects such as the general properties of matter, light and sound, heat and thermodynamics, magnetism, electricity and electronics and the use of computing in nuclear physics.
