PHYSICS LABORATORY I A - L

This is the first class that teaches the students Laboratory techniques and Statistics after they enroll in the undergraduate Physics course.

The aim of the course is to provide students with the basics for learning the experimental method and experimental data analysis techniques. It is divided into frontal lessons (42 hours) and laboratory exercises (90 hours).

At the end of the course the successful student will be able to perform measurements of physical quantitites and report the results in a scientifically correct way.

The course is accredited by 12 CFUs, corresponding to 132 hours of classroom and laboratory lectures. In particular, 42 hours of classroom lessons and 90 hours of guided laboratory experiences are provided.

Experimental data analysis (22 hours).

- The Scientific Method. - Measurement of physical quantities. Operational determination of a physical quantity and its measurement. Fundamental and derived quantities. Units of measure and systems of units of measure: the international system and CGS system. - Presentation of Significant Measures and Figures. Dimensional analysis of a formula and verification of its correctness - Characteristics of a measuring instrument - Errors and / or uncertainties. Systematic and random errors. - Total error in measurements, relative error, precision degree. - Single and / or multiple measurements. The best estimate of error (fashion, median and average) - Scarcity, mean square deviation, standard population, sample and mean deviation - Error propagation. - Representation of data: tables, histograms and graphs. - Histograms: from discrete to limit distribution. - Gauss distribution as a limit distribution for ff measurements and not random errors. - Measurement of a magnitude fl uenced by random phenomena and estimation of expected value. - Measurement in probabilistic terms. probability theory.- The criterion of maximum likelihood.- Probability distributions: Gaussian, Binomial, Poisson.- Chi-quadro test.- Graphics and functional relations- Description of laboratory experiences
