Studiehandleiding.
Tijdschema Cursus:
Werkcollege (3 groepen voor MNW, en 5 groepen voor SBI studenten). De groepsindeling is door het onderwijsbureau vastgelegd om groepen van gelijke grootte te maken. Kijk op je Canvas-site of je VU-net registratie hoe je bent ingedeeld. Cartoons. Deze worden besproken in het werkcollege.
Bending water flow;
Touch high voltage;
Magnet;
Electrische Zaag;
Mastering Physics
Bij dit college hoort ook een module van Mastering Physics (Pearson uitgever) gekoppeld aan het Giancoli boek.
De cursus is: Fysica-E&M-SBI/MNW-UBACHS-2019 (met code: MPUBACHS2675806). De speciale login-code wordt nog aan jullie doorgegeven (via Canvas); in principe hebben jullie deze van het college Mechanica. Code staat ook in Studiehandleiding.
Het maken van de "Mastering Physics" opgaven is verplicht bij deze cursus en maakt onderdeel uit bij de beoordeling. De opgaven moeten voor het college gemaakt worden via de webbased pagina van Pearson.Kijk in de studiehandleiding hoe daar in te loggen. Slides Hoorcollege: worden hier ter beschikking gesteld.

Advanced Experimental Methods
Masters, Chemistry & Physics UvA-VU, May-June 2013
Several lecturers will teach different topics. Ubachs will deal with three topics:
1) Extension of the wavelength range of tunable lasers with nonlinear crystals.
For this we will use the following
Handouts.
We will during the course use the SNLO program for calculating phase-matching properties of crystals.
Download the
Program,
install it and make sure it works.
Bring a laptop during class !
2) Wavelength and frequency calibration in spectroscopic experiments. Handouts.
3) Detection of species with lasers.
Handouts.
