Physics Lab

The Laboratory of Physics imparts the physical basics of engineering science by means of meaningful experimental setups that provide valid quantitative measurement results. The focus is on kinematics, dynamics, vibration theory, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, acoustics and optics. The laboratory has a separate laser protection area (room C208) where experiments with laser radiation are carried out. 

Goals and idea

Physical connections are made accessible through clear examples from practice. The laws taught in the lecture can be applied directly. The laws of nature can be directly experienced.

• Investigation of linear and rotary movements

• Analysis of systems capable of vibrating including their resonance catastrophe

• Quantification of drag and lift forces

• Performance determination of thermodynamic cycles

• Detection of the propagation behaviour of sound waves

• Optical length measurement

• Representation of optical diffraction phenomena

• Characterization of photometric quantities of illuminants
