An Introduction to Laboratory Physics

Excerpt from An Introduction to Laboratory Physics This book is essentially a revision of the mimeographed direction sheets that have been, used in the first part of the laboratory course given by the writer at Jefferson Medical College. It does not cover the r, ground of the usual laboratory manuals of physics, but is intended to precede the use of any one of them in a course of physical measurement, and includes the matter that is usually relegated to an introductory chapter or an appendix, where the student is not apt to get as good a grasp of it as he does of the subjects that are emphasized by his experimental work. In addition to the statements of facts and theory each of the fifteen lessons in the book includes directions for actual experimental work to be performed by the student, and the amount of this work has been so planned that each lesson will require the same length of time as any of the others. For the average student this means about three hours, but the material of the lessons can easily be divided into a greater number of shorter exercises if desirable. Explanations and directions have been given with considerable detail, partly in order to avoid the necessity for continuous oral assistance on the part of the instructor, and partly to help the student to learn with a minimum of deliberate memorizing.

An Indroduction to Laboratory Physics

An Introduction to Laboratory Physics, by Lucius Tuttle, offers a comprehensive guide to conducting physics experiments. Originally published in 1915, this manual provides detailed instructions and methodologies suitable for students and educators alike. The book emphasizes practical application and hands-on learning, making it an invaluable resource for understanding fundamental physics principles. Through a series of carefully designed experiments, readers gain insights into mechanics, heat, light, and electricity. This historical text not only serves as a window into early 20th-century physics education but also remains relevant for its clear and concise approach to experimental physics. "An Introduction to Laboratory Physics" stands as a testament to the enduring value of practical scientific exploration.
