Physics Teaching Laboratory
Welcome to the Physics Teaching Laboratory website.
The goal of this laboratory is to familiarize students with the basic methods of experimental work. At the same time, students learn how to analyze the results they obtain using scientific methods.
The laboratory is equipped to conduct teaching experiments for up to twelve groups of two students. Four sets of equipment are available for each experiment. The focus of the laboratory exercises is less on complex scientific concepts and more on developing a systematic, scientific approach to work and critically and analytically evaluating the results obtained.
The equipment includes, among other things, roller tracks, various rotating pendulums, gyroscopes, and Pohl wheels for classical mechanics. In quantum mechanics, the elementary charge can be determined and the Franck-Hertz experiment can be performed. Optical benches, including various accessories, allow for experiments in the field of optics.
The laboratory is located in Room 1.46 and is affiliated with the Physics and Materials research group. If you have any questions, please contact Prof. Dr. Herbert Schmidt or Dr. Silvia Hacia.
