Requested Demonstrations that we do not currently have: Oscilloscope View of Magnet falling down tube Vibrating Mass -- Measure velocity or position vs. time (done) Damped Driven Hanging mass: method to independently measure frequencies of driver and oscillating mass A physical pendulum (as pg. 325 of Resnick & Halliday) A quantitative Atwood's machine (9/29/00) Boat with anchor to throw overboard (10/31/00) for Dr. Barnett Hula-hoop for B.B. _______________ I know I have used this before, but what I really have to remember for next year, is that I need a single slit to compare to the double slit. I try to cover one slit up with a piece of paper, but it doesn't really work. Next year.
