PH 263 - Lab for PH 262

Credit Hours: Included in the 4.0 credit hours for PH 262

Laboratory experiments designed to correlate with PH 262 for conducting experiments concurrent with the classroom lecture. A laboratory designed to give the student hands-on experience with the selected topics in the lectures by comparing the results of the experiments with the predictions of the associated theory. Ths laboratory course is to be taken concurrently with the lecture course PH 262 (Technical Physics II).

Fulfills SUNY General Education – Natural Sciences.
