ALTHOUGH text-books of practical physics are now fairly numerous, the demonstrators in physics of the University of Toronto appear to have found it impossible to adapt any of the existing ones to the requirements of their students. The same difficulty has been experienced in most English laboratories, partly on account of the diversity which exists between the apparatus of the various institutions, and partly because of the different aims of students working in them. Consequently nearly every laboratory possesses instruction-sheets, either in print or manuscript, which have in some instances been edited and issued in book form; the present volume is a case in point. The experiments described in the book are arranged in two courses, elementary and advanced, in the former of which weighing and measuring, light and heat, are included, while the advanced course consists of sound, advanced heat, electricity, and magnetism. Some easy experiments in electricity and magnetism might have been included in the elementary course, otherwise the selection is a fairly good and useful one. The section on sound contains figures and descriptions of Helmholtz's and König's apparatus for various experiments, but many students' laboratories in this country are, unfortunately, not equipped with large electrically-driven tuning-forks and chronographs. Experimental details are sometimes omitted; for example, in describing the use of the spectrometer as a goniometer, the student is not told how to focus the telescope and adjust the slit so as to obtain a parallel beam of light from the collimator. In the same experiment it is erroneously stated that the edge of the crystal must coincide with the axis of the instrument, whereas the two need only be parallel to each other if the collimator is properly adjusted. Again, in calorimetric measurements, errors arising from radiation between the calorimeter and its surroundings are not very adequately discussed; the calorimeter is supposed in all experiments to alter its temperature at a uniform rate, and matters are so arranged that the mean between its initial and final temperatures is that of the atmosphere. In specific heat determinations a preliminary experiment is necessary in order to satisfy the latter condition, and the assumption of uniform rise of temperature is only approximately true, even when the body under experiment is a good conductor of heat. The book is printed in a bold, clear type, and its illustrations are good; it will be found a useful addition to the laboratory bookshelf.-Philosophical Magazine

Excerpt from A Laboratory Course in Experimental Physics At the present day, when students are required to gain knowledge of natural phenomena by performing experiments for themselves in laboratories, every teacher finds that as his classes increase in number, some difficulty is experienced in providing, during a limited time, ample instruction in the matter of details and methods. During the past few years we ourselves have had such difficulties with large classes; and that is our reason for the appearance of the present work, which is the natural outcome of our experience. We know that it will be of service to our own students, and hope that it will be appreciated by those engaged in teaching Experimental Physics elsewhere. The book contains a series of elementary experiments specially adapted for students who have had but little acquaintance with higher mathematical methods: these are arranged as far as possible in order of difficulty. There is also an advanced course of experimental work in Acoustics, Heat, and Electricity and Magnetism, which is intended for those who have taken the elementary course.

This textbook provides the knowledge and skills needed for thorough understanding of the most important methods and ways of thinking in experimental physics. The reader learns to design, assemble, and debug apparatus, to use it to take meaningful data, and to think carefully about the story told by the data. Key Features: Efficiently helps students grow into independent experimentalists through a combination of structured yet thought-provoking and challenging exercises, student-designed experiments, and guided but open-ended exploration. Provides solid coverage of fundamental background information, explained clearly for undergraduates, such as ground loops, optical alignment techniques, scientific communication, and data acquisition using LabVIEW, Python, or Arduino. Features carefully designed lab experiences to teach fundamentals, including analog electronics and low noise measurements, digital electronics, microcontrollers, FPGAs, computer interfacing, optics, vacuum techniques, and particle detection methods. Offers a broad range of advanced experiments for each major area of physics, from condensed matter to particle physics. Also provides clear guidance for student development of projects not included here. Provides a detailed Instructor’s Manual for every lab, so that the instructor can confidently teach labs outside their own research area.

Excerpt from A Laboratory Course in Physics for Secondary Schools Since the precise method of accomplishing this end will depend upon the sort of laboratory equip ment which is available, the course has been given considerable flexibility by introducing alternative experiments. Thus, if gas is not accessible the student will omit Exp. 5, but will get exactly the same principle through performing Exp. 5a. Or, if the laboratory is not equipped with commercial ammeters and voltmeters, Exp. 31 will be omitted and Exp. 31 A performed. Similar choices will be found indicated throughout the text. Another feature of the course is that the experiments do not presuppose any previous study of the subject involved, or any antecedent knowledge of physics. The laboratory work may be kept in advance of the classroom discussion throughout the entire course if desired. Indeed, in their own elementary work the authors prefer to let more than half of the experiments constitute the student's first introduction to the subject treated. Furthermore, students are neither instructed nor advised to study their experiments before entering the laboratory, for each experiment has been arranged to carry with it its own introduction.

This book presents experiments which will teach physics relevant to astronomy. The astronomer, as instructor, frequently faces this need when his college or university has no astronomy department and any astronomy course is taught in the physics department. The physicist, as instructor, will find this intellectually appealing when faced with teaching an introductory astronomy course. From these experiments, the student will acquire important analytical tools, learn physics appropriate to astronomy, and experience instrument calibration and the direct gathering and analysis of data. Experiments that can be performed in one laboratory session as well as semester-long observation projects are included.

Excerpt from Elementary Course in Experimental Physics Because the laboratory period has been reduced from three to two hours, some of the exercises have been shortened. The details of a considerable number of exercises differ from those of previous texts, and many of the experiments have been entirely rewritten, although treating in general of the same principles as heretofore, with a few exceptions.
