Course objectives
The subject is a theoretical introduction for successive obligatory three-term course of physical laboratory. The aim of this subject is to provide basic information about experimental work in physical laboratory and about numerical processing of experimental data. A graduate is able to evaluate experimental data, calculate a mean value and mean square error, use a computer software for plotting a graph, regression of experimental data and write a report.
Syllabus
  • 1. Experiment in physics and natural sciences.
  • 2. Physical measurement, absolute and relative measurement method, origin of experimental errors.
  • 3. Random and systematic experimental error.
