First full writup of either the Speed of Light experiment or the Michelson Interferometer (your choice). Use the template from the LaTeX assignment and the section structure laid out in the lab syllabus. The first sections of the following two documents are quite good at descriping good technical writing:
- Clarity in Technical Reporting (pages 1-15).
- Mathematical Writing (pages 1-6)
- Millikan Oil Drop lab instructions.
- Some supplementary materials
- The PASCO manual. for the Millikan apparatus that we will be using.
- Thermistor resistance table.
- A plot of the viscosity of dry air as a function of temperature.
- Photoelectric effect.
- Equipment instructions for the Planck's constant apparatus.
- Charge to Mass ratio of electron.
- Equipment instructions for the electron diflection tube.
- Electron Diffraction lab instructions.
- Spectroscopy lab instructions.
