Because of my scrupulosity, I'm working on the setups/items for several months! For example We finally chose a projectile launcher from Phewe brand with enough spare parts. I love http://vnr.st/v125/ but it's kind of an automate device, it calculates anythings! We're still working on others! I...

Hey, Pasco seems cool. @jtbell, It's not important which country, they usually work globally. I also found Leybold (LD) that seems a great German brand. Any company else?

As you know, this year, 2015, is the year of light: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Year_of_Light I want to create a video clip limited to 90 seconds to show in our university's TED-like show to make students excited about light. Do you have any idea? any experiment?

We're going to equip our fundamental physics labs: - Mechanics lab - Electricity and magnetism lab - Geometrical lab - Thermodynamics lab Which brand is qualified in your experience?

Thank you for answer. There's many application for it in wave optics. More, I'm asking for experiment in geometrical optics field for freshmen!

We have an advanced spectrometer in our geometrical optics lab! I'm seeking for any experiment in geometrical optics to include it!

On real objects! For example: A triangle shaped wood/iron This seems great. But it needs a set of http://www.insize.com/products/tools/pdf/plate-l/4150.pdf which is expensive! However I'm working on brands to find a low price gauge block. thank you. Do you know what's the application of holes...

Is there any usage for a measuring microscope in an electricity laboratory as a part of any experiment? We have a Mitutoyo measuring microscope in our fundamental electricity physics lab which is a course for sophomores. We used it for apparent depth in our optics lab which is retired now! I'm...

<< Moderator Note -- Dorea is an instructor asking about their physics lab >>[/color] The first experiment in our fundamental physics lab is "Measuring & Measurement errors". Currently we have four devices: - rule (0.5 mm) - Vernier Caliper (0.02 mm) - Micrometer (0.01 mm) - Spherometer We're...

Do you know any economical quantitative electrostatics experiments for the university level? I'm asking for some experiments for undergraduates in the electrostatics context. We have a Van-de-Graaff generator in our fundamental physics lab but this kind of devices are useful for demonstration...

Isn't it an electrical device in order to produce a current in combination with something else?!

Except numbers 1 and 7, others are simple and out of any conception: They just give the student ability to create a circuit! I'm looking for a simple version of some experiment such as Millikan experiment, focused on fundamental concepts of basic physics I'm a new TA. They has built a new lab...

I'm searching for a well-known brand for safe laser pointer. Internet is full of chinese products! I thought maybe someone knows a good brand in his/her country.

These are some devices in our lab that I don't know their application! I'm a lab TA. 1. http://i.imgur.com/ZmgIdmv.png + http://i.imgur.com/LKpOYci.png + http://i.imgur.com/JFrQi3k.png 2. http://i.imgur.com/CO8Ympz.png + http://i.imgur.com/bTcVsPZ.png 3. http://i.imgur.com/4K3dCiz.png +...

Any birefringence plate has tree side. we ha a birefringence plate with tree different side in size. The question is this: Is index of refraction of this birefringence plate related to the distance which light travels through it?! In other words, each side of this plate have a different...
