The Department of Physics hosts its Spring Seminars for students today, Wednesday, May 2 at 2:30 p.m. in Science Hall room 1013.
The Advanced Lab course (PHY351) in the physics and 3+2 engineering majors requires students to chose a scientific article and reproduce the experiment. The students selected a unique array of topics including an electromagnetic projectile launcher, a cellphone spectrometer, a high-resolution spectrometer and a Watt balance to calibrate the kilogram.
The findings of science are wasted if they are not shared with the public. Thus, the students are required to share their results with the campus community. Each group will give a 20-minute, conference-style talk. The schedule is:
