These introductory courses emphasise quantitative measurements. the treatment of measurement errors. and graphical analysis. A variety of experimental techniques should be employed. The experiments include studies of meters. the oscilloscope. mechanical systems. electrical and mechanical resonant systems. Light, Heat, viscosity and many others. covered in PHY 101 and PHY 102. However. emphasis should be placed on the basic physical techniques for observation. measurements. data collection. analysis and deduction.

This practical course is a continuation of PHY 107 and is intended to be taught during the second semester of the 100 level to cover the practical aspect of the theoretical courses that have been covered with emphasis on quantitative measurements. The treatment of measurement errors, and graphical analysis. However, emphasis should be placed on the basic physical techniques for observation, measurements, data collection, analysis and deduction. 200 Level
