A revision of the leading text on experimental physics. The feature of this book that has made it one of the most loved texts on the subject is that it goes far beyond a mere description of key experiments in physics. The authors successfully provide the reader with an understanding and appreciation of the 'physics' behind the experiments.
With the help of new co-author Frank Wolf, the authors have developed digital signal processing (DSP) for the undergraduate laboratory, based on software they will create using commercial hardware from National Instruments. With DSP, . They will introduce DSP in 4 classic experiments: NMR, magnetic moment of the muon, the Faraday effect, and the Mössbauer experiment.
They will also add sections on Pulsed NMR, photon counting and scanning probe microscopy. Two new appendices will be added covering LabView software as well as How to use an Oscilloscope.
The authors have also added many more examples to the Data and Error Analysis section as students have a tough time with this topic. topic.
New to this edition:
- New appendices on LabView software and how to use an oscilloscope
- More detailed examples of Data and Error Analysis
- Added experiements in Pulsed NMR, Photon counting and Scanning probemiscroscopy
