Scope
This course is a program of four experiments designed to exercise the student's knowledge of classical, modern, and quantum physics and to extend his or her familiarity with equipment and techniques used in a physical science laboratory. The cadet, usually working with a partner, selects experiments from a list. Cadets perform the experiments on their own initiative with minimum guidance from the faculty advisor designated for each experiment.
