PHYS 230: Laboratory Instrumentation I

Explore the fascinating optical phenomena involving a cat, a converging lens, and the creation of virtual and real images.

Discover how to calculate the latent heat of fusion of mercury using calorimetry. Grasp the role of thermal equilibrium in heat transfer calculations. Derive the value of mercury's latent heat of fusion based on experimental data.

Explore the profound link between these two fundamental concepts in physics, and understand how they relate through the Work-Energy Theorem.

Dive into the physics of cliff jumping as we analyze the splashdown speeds of two adventurous youngsters. Explore the factors that determine their speeds and choose the best explanation among the options provided.

Explore the fascinating science of air temperature change in this video! We calculate how the volume of inhaled air increases as it warms from 0.0°C to body temperature. Discover the principles of thermal expansion in the human body.

In this video, we explore the concept of time and distance as we compare two cars traveling at different speeds along a straight highway. We'll calculate when the faster car arrives at a destination 16 km away and find out how far they must travel for it to arrive 15 minutes before the slower car. Join us for an engaging journey through the world of physics and velocity!
