Laboratory Manual for Basic Physics is intended for a one-semester survey course for physics, PHYS:1400, Basic Physics.
Many of the experiments used in this course were originally designed for more advanced courses. The original authors of these experiments were John Goree and Chuck Williamson. In recent years many of these experiments have been adapted into experiments more appropriate for this course. Several of the previously existing experiments (also written by Goree and Williamson) also underwent significant revision. These adaptations and revisions were made by laboratory coordinator Anthony Moeller with feedback from TAs and lab setup crew members. Additionally, this manual is now available to you in full color, which should improve the usefulness of many pictures and diagrams.
