Magnetic Field and Force

Magnetic Field and Force The open-response answers must be worked out clearly using good physics presentation and will be graded on correctness and how carefully the work is explained. The problems should be worked in the space after the problem on the assignment printout; additional paper may be used if […]

Measuring and Classifying Stars

Measuring and Classifying Stars The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is an important tool in the classification of stars and the understanding stellar evolution. The H-R diagram was discovered independently by two astronomers in early 20th century using observations of star luminosity and surface temperature. With this lab exercise, you will use Stellarium […]

Classical Physics Compare/Contrast Paper

Classical Physics Compare/Contrast Paper Explore the physical principles of classical physics. Instructions In a two-page paper, identify the classical physics principles contained within the following scenario. (See instructions below) Explain how these principals connect to work done by Galileo or Newton. Finally, consider the different fields in which Galileo and […]

In a laser cooling experiment

In a laser cooling experiment 1. A beam of 87Rb atoms is to be slowed down using a Zeeman slower with laser light tuned to the 52s1/2 − 52p3/2 transition with F = 2,mF = 2 → F ′ = 3,mF ′ = 3 (λ=780 nm). The nuclear spin is […]
