Experiments
Most Free Choice experiments are one weight
[1 wt], which means that we expect that you can complete the experiment within
one three-hour session. The data taking can certainly be completed within this
time, but you may have to spend time outside the lab hours completing the data
analysis and final conclusions, etc. Two-weight experiments require two
three-hour sessions. A two-weight experiment counts as two one-weight
experiments. A
BRIEF DESCRIPTION of all available Free
Choice experiments is available. Guide sheets for the free choice experiments
are available from the following table in portable data format (PDF). You can
read and print these PDF files using Acrobat Reader, which can be freely
downloaded to your PC from the
Adobe Acrobat web site. You should have Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or
better. When printing, in order to print small fonts correctly, turn off any
expanding or contracting features and also turn off (uncheck) "Print as Image". All experiments are on the second floor
of the McLennan Physical Laboratories (MP building).
