We will do three projects this
spring. Lab reports are the
same as when you took Advanced Lab I. Use
the guidelines you received at that time. We will schedule weekly meetings of
each group. The projects are lengthy. You
are responsible for having all projects done by the end of the semester, but
don't delay working on them. You might have to work on more than one project at
a time in order to complete your work. Each
project should take approximately 3 weeks. You should turn in your lab report
for each experiment one to two weeks after its completion. All reports should
be ready by the beginning of finals week. You may do the projects in the order
you prefer.
Complete one of
the two following computer projects:
1.
2. Solving the Shroedinger equation for the carbon monoxide molecule. An
outline of the project is available as a handout.
Complete the
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance experiment. There is a reference manual on the
experiment station.
Complete the
Sonoluminescence experiment. There is a reference manual on the experiment
station.
Complete one
Optical Pumping experiment. There is a reference manual on the experiment
station.
Each
experiment/report takes up to 33.3 points. The following is a scale for the
total number of points collected.
Grading: 100 <= points <= 85 is A
85 < points <= 75 is B
75 < points <= 65 is C
65 < points <= 50 is D
50 < points <= 0 is F
