General Practical Physics I

At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. Conduct measurements of some physical quantities; 2. Make observations of events, collect and tabulate data; 3. Identify and evaluate some common experimental errors; 4. Plot and analyse graphs; and 5. Draw conclusions from numerical and graphical analysis of data.

Quantitative measurements. Treatment of measurement, errors and graphical analysis. Experimental techniques for studies of meters, oscilloscope, mechanical systems, electrical and mechanical resonant systems, light, heat, viscosity and others covered in PHY 101. Emphasis should be placed on the basic physical techniques for observation, measurements, data collection, analysis and deduction.
