This ETP is designed to provide teachers with a couple sample lessons to use for incorporating high speed video cameras into their classroom. These 2 lessons will involve both the use of high speed cameras and the analysis of footage obtained from them.
The objective of this lesson is for the students to utilize content they have learned in my physics class to complete an engineering challenge. Students must angle mirrors appropriately in order to direct a laser beam onto a target.
This set of lessons aims to teach students about error in measurement, how to quantify uncertainty, propagation of uncertainty, and using the slope of the line of best fit.
Traditionally, the etching of silicon wafers is a guess and check process- the manufactures guess the depth of the features for a given design, produce the wafer, and check if the process was successful. This process of nanomanufacturing is wasteful.
Currently, Berkeley Chemistry fellows (postdocs, graduate students, and undergrads) are using extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light generated by table-top lasers to probe potential solar energy converting materials in order to analyze their charge carriers’ excitation and relaxation process.
The bulk properties of a material depend heavily on the microscopic structure of that material.
This interactive lab is an exercise in applying students’ knowledge of Conservation of Momentum and Energy to current dark matter research techniques. It’s a good review activity for Momentum and Energy, and it also bridges nicely into Atomic Physics.
The Fan research group in the Applied Nanophotonics Laboratory at Stanford focuses on the development of high performance and compact electromagnetic devices, combining new developments in materials science with new concepts in device and system design to produce new electromagnetic hardware.
