Description

This Laboratory Manual describes in detail the set of twenty-one experiments generally done the introductory physics courses. Each experiment is accompanied by a set of PreLab Activities, in order to prepare the students for the experiments. Questions with answers for the Viva Voce are presented for each of the experiments. Some of the experiments are accompanied with a Project, which is an activity to extend the experiments into the research domain. The books has several appendices covering important aspects such as, Writing a Lab Report; use of Spreadsheets; SI System of Units & Prefixes; Physical Constants; Greek Alphabet; and Mathematical Symbols. The last appendix is on the land mark event: 2015 the International Year of Light and Light-based technologies.
