Physics Laboratory Courses for Undergraduate Students in UCR

  1. These are my supplemental notes for Physics Laboratory Courses, including Phys2LA, Phys2LB, Phys2LC, Phys40A and Phys40B.
  2. Every supplemental note here is designed as a companion to the lab manual, and itself probably will not make such sense.
  3. Some notes are incomplete because that some pages are from the photocopies of other TA's notes or Physics Textbook. I can not transform them in time.
  4. Further edition is always in process due to students' responses.

The following is a series of additional notes for students' Frequently Asked Questions.
