PHYSICS 102N - GENERAL PHYSICS LABORATORY II
		--------------------------------------------
	WWW:	www.ph.utexas.edu/~faraggi/102N

	Instructor: Eshel Faraggi
		    RLM - 8.305 
	    Email - faraggi@physics.utexas.edu

	Office Hours:   Wednesday 10:00 - 11:00 AM and by appt.

	Supervisor:  	Dr. Roger Bengtson
			RLM - 12.212
			bengtson@hagar.ph.utexas.edu

	Required:     	General Physics Lab II
			Lab for Physics 102N
			ELECTROMAGNETISM & OPTICS
			(Recent edition)

	Lab Partners: 	 Work in pairs. Transfer of knowledge is O.K. Each
		      	 one write his/her OWN REPORT.
					  ------------
	MakeUps:	There will be two make-up labs for those of you
			who miss a lab.
			THERE IS NO OTHER TIME TO MAKE UP LAB'S!
			A missing lab is a zero for that lab.  
	
	Late Labs:	THERE WILL BE NO LATE LAB REPORTS! ALL LABS SHOULD
			BE TURNED IN AT THE BIGINING OF THE LAB .

	Lab Report: 	One for each lab. Due the first section after you
			finish your experiment. It should contain:


	From previous experience it was found that the more prepared one
comes to the lab the better he does the lab itself, the quicker and easier
it is for him/her to write the lab-report and probably most important to
you'll - the grades go up. For these reasons, read carefully the
suggestions on how to come prepared and try following them through.

		BEFORE COMING TO THE LAB
		------------------------
Read the entire section in the lab manual, including procedures and those parts of the
manual you would later need to complete. This will give you an overview of what theory
you should know, and what are you going to experiment with. If any part of the theory
for the lab is unclear, look it up in the corresponding section  in your class text
book. If parts of the procedure or data analysis are still unclear seek help. The
physics coaching tables on the fifth floor of RLM, near the elevator, is a good place
to try. Tutors are available there almost during all working hours, check the schedule
there. Now you are ready to begin. Start by completing the PreLab part in the manual. I
will sign it before you begin the lab.

(**) Data analysis preparation: Read the final part of your lab manual.
		Understand what calculations you will be asked to do and
		how to do them. Usually these calculations involve using
		the data you obtained in the lab and figuring out some
		physical quantity from them or just comparing observed vs.
		theoretical data. On the back side of your PreLab or on a seperate 
		sheet of paper, write down both the quantities you will
		need to measure and the equations you will use. Some times
		the equations are not written directly and you will have to
		use simple algebra to get them.

	BRING THIS PRELAB TO THE LAB - I WILL CHECK AND SIGN IT.
   
		In The Lab
		----------  
(V) 	Measurements:
		Follow the procedure as writen in the manual. Write ALL the
		measurements you get, their error and any observation you make.
		This is the most important aspect of this class -
		making repeated observations. Although it may seem boring,
		this is fun.

		HOME
		----
		Answer the questions in the LAB MANUAL, uSE YOUR
		ADVISING Sheet (see (**)) to help you understand
		the data analysis. If you need further help 
		you can find it with me a book or any other source
		including a friend, as long that you do the actual work
		yourself. Also make sure you follow through the theory part of 
		the manual as you answer these questions. (Hint: the Lab
		Manual + Your Data, contains all the answers to the analysis 
		questions.) 

		What did you learn in this lab?
		
     	(Bonus Points)Any thing unpredicted happen? write it down. Do
		 you have any physical solution?




   
	Grading:	lab reports	50%
			2 Mid-Terms	10% each
			Final		30%

FINAL: The final will be preety much like a good lab session. You will come in, do a
simple experiment and analyze your results.

					Hope you'll a safe journey
					and may we meet on the other side.
