PHY207 - Advanced Lab II (2022-2023)

Recommended previous course: PHY203
In Advanced Lab II, students have
the opportunity to apply the physics
knowledge they have acquired in 7 distinct
lab sessions of 4 hours each. PHY207 provides
an in-depth study of a wide range of
physical phenomena such as fundamental
and applied wave-optics (Fourier optics,
Michelson interferometry), atomic physics
(the Balmer series), thermodynamics
(the Rüchardt experiment, the Stirling
engine) as well as fluid mechanics. Upon
completion of this course, students will
have acquired advanced experimental
skills allowing them to set up, carry out
and to critically analyze experiments in
physics and mechanics.



In Advanced Lab II, students have the opportunity to apply their physics knowledge they have acquired over the course of 7 distinct lab sessions of 4 hours each. PHY207 provides an in-depth study of a wide range of physical phenomena such as fundamental and applied optics (Fourier optics, optical fiber communication), atomic and nuclear physics (Balmer series, Nuclear magnetic resonance), thermodynamics (low temperature physics, SF6 critical point) and the mechanics of deformable bodies.
