Physics Department Teaching Laboratories

watertanks

Acoustics

The Acoustics Laboratory equipment includes a large anechoic chamber, a small reverberation chamber and a multiple-unit acoustics laboratory for student experimentation in acoustics in air. Sonar equipment, test and wave tanks and instrumentation for investigation in underwater sound comprise the Underwater Acoustics Laboratory.

basicphysics

Basic Physics

The Basic Physics Laboratory has simple and computer controlled experiments to help demonstrate Newton’s laws of motion, rotational kinematics, gravitation, Gauss’ Law, electrical potential, Ac and DC circuits.

modern physics

Modern Physics

Modern Physics Laboratory has simple and computer controlled experiments to help demonstrate special relativity, the wave-particle duality, the Schrödinger equation, and atoms and molecules.
