phy513 - Basic Laboratory (Vollständige Modulbeschreibung)

Course I is a prerequisite for course II

The students learn the fundamentals of carrying out experiments in physics, how to handle modern measurement techniques as well as data acquisition and analysis with the help of suitable hardware and software. They extend the subjects of lectures by own experiments and acquire skills in planning, carrying out, assessing, analysing experiments and writing reports as well as in presenting their results using multimedial tools independently. Working in groups they acquire competences in the fields of teamwork and communication. In the accompanying seminar, students acquire competences in the fields of responsible scientific practice and commitment by assessing the social consequences of research results and additionally extend their experimental skills.

Introduction into software and hardware for technical-scientific data acquisition and data processing; use of modern measurement techniques; analysis and assessment of measuring incertainties; fitting functions to measuring data; experiments in the fields of mechanics, electricity, optics, nuclear radiation, electronics, signal detection and signal processing.
