We do a mixture of historical experiments (Franck-Hertz,
photoelectric effect, etc), technique-based experiments
(inteferometry to find wavlengths, n of glass, Na doublet splitting,
etc; force between current-carrying wires, microwave optics, fibre
optics, hall effect), and a series of nuclear physics (counting
statistics, gamma spectroscopy, alpha spectroscope, alpha scattering
in gases, Rutherford scattering, gamma gamma angular correlation,
etc). We have others.
The selection is based on the collection of apparatus, which in turn
is based on the interests of faculty who have taught the course over
20 years. We have a separate electronics course, and I really doubt
that electronics could be integrated into this course easily or well.
