Experimental laboratory I

Lecturer:

Miloš Pachr (gar.), Vojtěch Svoboda, Libor Škoda

Tutor:

Miloš Pachr (gar.), Vojtěch Svoboda, Libor Škoda

Supervisor:

Department of Physics

Synopsis:

Lecture is intended especially for students who intend to study some of the physical specializations of FNSPE (branch Physical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering). But it can be also attended by students interested in the other specializations. In Experimental laboratory students learn how to prepare for experiments (including work with the literature), the implementation of the measurement (acquire of different experimental procedures and routines), will teach writing the records of measurement, processing and evaluation of results. At the same time practically extend the knowledge gained in lectures on physics.
