PHYS 222

Study Guide for Lab Final

The final will include most (but not all) of the items below.

1) Be able to measure the current, voltage and resistance of a circuit, and/or circuit element.

2) Be able to read and interpret an oscilloscope.

3) Be able to determine the focal length of a thin lense.

4) Be able to determine the index of refraction of a material.

5) Be able to determine uncertainty of DMM (digital multimeter) and propagate the uncertainty.

6) Be able to read a balance or caliper and determine its uncertainty.

What to study?

Look over the experiments on:

O-scope, Reflection & Refraction, Thin Lenses, Series & Parallel, and Kirchhoff's Laws.

The following experiments will be set up in the lab- Series & Parallel, Kirchhoff's Laws and Thin Lenses.

(You may ask questions about how to perform these experiments)

All formulas (except for Ohm's Law) will be provided.
