Photoelectric Effect
The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from the surface of a metal when electromagnetic radiation (such as visible or ultraviolet light)...
Newton's First Law
The purpose of this experiment is to determine how external forces influence an object's motion. The following objects are pushed briefly: A cart and a...
Magnetic Fields of Coils
The magnetic fields of various coils are plotted versus position as the Magnetic Field Sensor is passed through the coils, guided by a track. The position...
LRC Circuits
The phase differences between the output voltage, the voltage across the inductor, the voltage across the capacitor, and the voltage across the resistor...
Light Intensity vs. Distance
The relative light intensity versus distance from a point light source is plotted. As the Light Sensor is moved by hand, the string attached to the Light...
Large Amplitude Pendulum
This experiment explores the dependence of the period of a simple pendulum on the amplitude of the oscillation. Also, the angular displacement, angular...
Kirchhoff’s Circuit Laws
Kirchhoff’s Laws form the basis of all circuit analysis. Here we verify the laws for a resistive circuit using a DC input and for a time varying RC circuit.
Interference and Diffraction of Light
The distances between the central maximum and the diffraction minima for a single slit are measured...
