Peer reviewedWoodyard, Jack R., Sr. – American Journal of Physics, 1972
Describes a method for direct calculation of energy levels by using elementary techniques. Describes the limitations of the approach but also claims that with a minimum amount of labor a student can get greater understanding of atomic physics problems. (PS)

Haskell, Richard E. – Amer J Phys, 1970
Describes an experiment in which the Fresnel diffraction pattern of a single slit can be displayed directly on an oscilloscope. The experiment requires a minimum amount of equipment and space. Results of the experiment are presented and compared with theoretical calculations carried out by a digital computer. (LC)

Peer reviewedCollins, Lee A.; And Others – American Journal of Physics, 1974
An electron-spin-resonance experiment which has been successfully performed in an advanced undergraduate physics laboratory is described. A discussion of that part of the theory of magnetic resonance necessary for the understanding of the experiment is also provided in this article. (DT)

Johnston, D. C.; Silbernagel, B. G. – Amer J Phys, 1969
Describes modifications of a commercially available strip-type transmission line, which makes possible reproducible measurements of standing waves on the line. Experimental data yield values for the characteristic impedance, phase velocity and line wavelength of radiation in the transmission line, and the dielectric constant of material in the…

Shonle, John I. – Amer J Phys, 1970
Reports the instructor's experiences with open-end introductory physics laboratories. Students' reactions to the course are summarized. Organizational details and changes in the organization made for 1969-70 are also included. Bibliography. (LC)

Tykodi, R. J. – Amer J Phys, 1970
Describes how the Joule-Thomson porous plug experiment may be used to illustrate the usefulness of the enthalpy function, irreversibility, steady-state ideas, and a relativity principle inherent in Newtonian mechanics. Bibliography. (LC)

McFarlane, W. K. – Amer J Phys, 1970
Describes a new "discovery-oriented" laboratory course in physics for college freshmen. The subject matter was Newtonian mechanics with calculus. The aim was to teach experimental methods from design of the experiment, testing hypotheses and presentation of final report. The laboratory was successful in most of its objectives and got moderately…
