This lab section is complementary to the lecture on thermal and optical physics. Fail to complete the lab section with a satisfactory grade will results an overall failing grade in the class. There will be an experiment every week. You'll need to have the raw data checked before leaving the lab. Lab reports are due a week after the experiment.
