Physics 111B is the experimental techniques lab class.
Overview
In Physics 111B, previously 111ADV (advanced laboratory), students are given 4 physics experiments to do throughout the semester. These experiments closely resemble those performed in actual physics research. For each experiment, a report, complete with a theory outline, procedure, data analysis (including full error analysis) must be completed. For this class, time management is key, as the course takes an amount of time comparable to the infamous Physics 111A, but is far less structured.
Prerequisites
Physics 111A and Physics 137A.
Student Comments
“Physics 111B: This class is only as fun as you make it. Pick labs based on 1) how interested you are in the subject, followed by 2) availability and time constraints. If you’re into what you’re working on you’ll have an OK time. But the lab reports are horrible. Plan to be constantly working on at least one lab report at all times during the semester you take 111B. Also: read the lab manual before coming in. That’s not a joke or a suggestion.” – Katie Latimer, physics/chemistry alumna
