Experimentalphysik 6: Festkörperphysik

This is a cheatsheet made for the final exam of Berkeley Physics 137B. It mainly covers chapters from Variational Method to the end (except for Adiabetic Approximation).

Trabalho experimental de determinação da Constante de Planck e do comportamento de Corpo Negro para um filamento de Tungstênio a partir da determinação de temperatura por resistência e por radiação eletromagnética.

Objetivos: Estudo do movimento oscilatório, oscilações livres não amortecidas e amortecidas, e oscilações forçadas e amortecidas.

The purpose of this lab is to determine the spring constant of a given spring. This spring constant is given by the relation between the force exerted on the spring and the distance the spring is either stretched or compressed. This relationship is given through Hooke’s law which we are going to get a better understanding of throughout this lab.

The viscosity of a particular fluid is an interesting parameter that plays an important role in fluid dynamics of that fluid. We chose the common household cooking item canola oil. Using a ball drop, we set out to measure viscosity at various temperatures and create a model for the viscosity of canola oil as a function of temperature, as well as an accurate measurement for viscosity at room temperature. It was found that the viscosity between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius can be approximated using an exponential function and that an estimation for viscosity at room temperature was not very difficult to obtain. The precision of this measurement was limited by uncertainty in lab equipment used to measure various quantities as well as the image analysis software we used and the limited frame-rate of our camera.
