Assesment methods:
Successful passing of an entrance test at the beginning of every laboratory work. Get through all laboratory works. Successful handing in of the reports of all laboratory works.
Learning outcomes of the course unit:
The student acquires experimental skills and practical experience in measuring basic physical properties. He can treat and analyze experimental results, estimate the error/uncertainty of direct and indirect measurements. He has basic knowledge of electricity and magnetism, mechanical and electromagnetic waves, quantum physics and nuclear physics.
Course contents:
1. Laboratory exercises on mechanics (allowance 0/18)
 
a. Introduction to laboratory exercises, basics on measurements of physical quantities, fundamental of evaluation of measurements, uncertainty of measurements, methods of data treatment and proper data evaluation from experiment. Standard report on measurement.
b. Measurements of fundamental quantities in mechanics : length, weight and volume.
c. Determination of the acceleration of free fall with help of the cone pendulum, graph and least squares method. Exemplary calculation on the linear regression.
d. Measurement of the modulus of elasticity of a wire from its elongation.
e. Determination of the moment of inertia using the method of physical pendulum.
f. Measurement of density of liquids -- the pycnometer method and with the immersed body method.
