The aim of the course:
Relate experiments such as the Frank-Hertz experiment, the hydrogen Balmer series experiment, the Millikan oil drop experiment, the photoelectric effect experiment, the e/m experiment, the electron diffraction experiment, X-ray scattering, and Compton scattering to modern physics topics. Evaluating experimental results using error calculation, percentage error, normalization, and certain statistical methods.
