PHY 4520LW - Advanced Laboratory Physics - Contemporary Experiments Laboratory (1)

Advanced experiments in selected contemporary topics in physics not normally encountered at the introductory level. Introduction to a variety of experimental physics topics, provide essential skills that an experimental physicist should have and provide a sense of truly independent research. Example experiments may include microwave propagation, electric polarization, viscosity, Hall effect, magnetic susceptibility and optical and nuclear spectroscopy. Writing-Intensive courses must be passed with a C or higher to count towards the University’s 3-unit Writing Requirement.
