1140 — Waves and Oscillations. For the past 20 years this course has followed 1130, Modern Physics, in our curriculum but recently we have begun offering waves and oscillations before modern physics. This lab covers topics such as pendulums, damped oscillations, LCR’s, among others!
Here you can find the link to the github repository for code that is useful // necessary to complete the Waves and Oscillations labs. Please see your Canvas site for the most recent lab guides, assignments and deliverables! This is an ever evolving course, and students who use the labs on this website may be missing important information.

These have mostly been retired, barring extraordinary circumstances but might prove useful.
