Physics 205L: Modern Physical Measurement

Yale University (Fall 2024, Spring 2025)

Course Description

A two-term sequence of experiments in classical and modern physics for students who plan to major in Physics. In the first term, the basic principles of mechanics, electricity, and magnetism are illustrated in experiments designed to make use of computer data handling and teach error analysis. In the second term, students plan and carry out experiments illustrating aspects of wave and quantum phenomena and of atomic, solid state, and nuclear physics using modern instrumentation.

Student Evaluations

Some notable reviews:

• "Aidan was super helpful during the experiments but made sure to guide us in the right direction rather than give us the answers, hes one of my favorite TAs thus far!"
• "Aidan was an excellent TF who was supportive of every student in the lab. He did a great job clarifying concepts and generally helping out in every lab, and his feedback was constructive and clear."
• "He was always willing to answer questions and guide you in the write direction of you were lost"
• "Fair, engaged, encouraging. Aidan is the best TA to walk the Earth!"
• "Aidan was extremely fun and helpful, and he helped us to get through a lot of the more confusing parts of the lab instructions!"
