To ALL PHYS1712 students, The deadlines for LabVIEW HW 1& 2 and exp 5 report are April 15 and 28, respectively. For HW submission, zip everything in one single document and submit to the upload area. I will upload the solutions to the course webpage 1 to 2 days after deadline. For exp 5, again zip everything (report, LabVIEW program, etc) in one single file to the upload area. Regards, Daniel |

I have released Exp 5 revised lab manual and instruction in the course webpage a week earlier. This is an open-ended experiment in which you can do it at home. I do not care about the accuracy of your results when compared to the expected value. However, the grading focuses on your method and how you do the data and error analysis. Therefore, apply what you have learned to this lab. Strongly recommend you to review the driven, damped harmonic oscillator and google "bottle" and "resonance" before doing it. |

To ALL PHYS1712 students, Sorry that, for HW1 6(c), the cutoff frequency should be 700 Hz instead of 500 Hz. Regards, Daniel |

To ALL PHYS1712 students, LabVIEW 2 and videos are available in the course webpage and I am releasing LabVIEW Homework 2 earlier. For the HW, you need to copy and paste the Front Panels and Block Diagrams in a Word doc including ALL written answers. All 1) the LabVIEW programs and 2) the Word doc are zipped in one single file for submission. The due date is April 15 instead of April 8. For late submission after the due date, 10% will be deducted per day. Read “LabVIEW 2.pdf” and “LabVIEW Sound.pdf” available in the course webpage for doing HW. |

Make sure you have LabVIEW installed properly. Do the 6-month trial first and we will activate your account once the school resumes. In addition, for the LabVIEW sound, use your headset (which combine earphone and microphone together) OR a pair of earphone and microphone. In case if you do not have one, you can come to the teaching lab to check out the earphone and microphone. However, we do not have any headset. Ask questions as soon as possible and do not wait until the last minute. |

LabVIEW Homework 1 is available. The due date is Mar 25. You need to copy and paste the Front Panels and Block Diagrams in a Word doc including ALL written answers. All 1) the LabVIEW programs and 2) the Word doc are zipped in one single file for submission. For late submission after the due date, 10% will be deducted per day. Read “LabVIEW 1.pdf” and “LabVIEW Sound.pdf” p.1-26. |

Experiment 4 instruction and video are available in the course webpage. 1. A short report is required this time. 2. Study the lab manual carefully although it is a relatively straightforward experiment. |

Experiment 3 instruction and videos are available in the course webpage. 1. Only data sheet report is required this time. 2. Instead of taking extreme positions to determine period and equilibrium position, record the position of the laser spot as a function of time and then fit the curve, which is a damped oscillation, by using "Solver" in Excel. 3. The introduction of "Solver" is provided in the "Do curve fitting with your own equation in Excel". 4. Fitting by "Solver" does not provide standard error, you need to determine it by intuition. |
