Interesting Physics Experiments

Post by Tahlan »

Check out the phyics at this site: Physics Experiments

We never did cool stuff like this in my physics classes.

Enjoy...

You probably do the superconductor experiment as part of an advanced Physics lab course in university, with all the necessary data taking and data analysis and interpretation to boot. It is not that difficult I am told... but requires some finese.

Apart from advanced teaching lab (and, of course, my work), the most interesting experiments I saw were demonstrations in Physics class for non-physicists.
I was most impressed seeing a second-order transition from gas to liquid (usually one gets to see these as first-order transition).
