Reviews the physics courses regularly available at 16 universities and colleges of technology in Scotland. (SL)

Describes the necessary procedures and equipment needed to modify the American Association of Physics Teachers' (AAPT) pocket calculator timer so that it can be controlled photoelectrically. (SL)

A simple experiment is described to measure the diffusion coefficient of a solute in a fluid. Laboratory-made floats are used to monitor the density changes associated with diffusion behavior. The experiment is ideally suited for undergraduate project work. (BB)

Describes a new course in physics which employs the Mass-Radius (M-R) diagram, for non-science majors. The intent of this course is to permit the comprehension and appreciation of the why and wherefore of the gross structure of the universe. (GA)

Explains a physics course in which the students sign up for the lectures pertinent to their majors, mathematical abilities, and the university of their choice. (GA)

Reviews current theories concerning the physics of the sun. (SL)

Discusses Campbell's theorem for the evaluation of fluctuation in system outputs as a basis for presenting a discussion of electrical noise in an undergraduate physics course. (SL)

Describes in detail the experimental procedures followed by Davison and Germer in 1927 in their discovery of electron diffraction. (SL)

Discusses the use of computer-generated holograms to calculate the Fourier transforms of simple stick objects. (MLH)

Presents a quantitative calculation of the inadequacy of human vision to illustrate Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. (MLH)

Discusses perceived difficulty of subjects and the comparison of standards of the examinations in different subjects. (SL)

Provides an analysis of how a student can improve his score on the Advanced Placement Physics exam. (SL)

Reviews errors and misleading statements appearing in various simulated Medical College Admission Tests. (SL)

Reports results of a 1976 survey of the characteristics of secondary level physics teachers in Germany. (SL)

Describes a seven piece modular optical hit which can be utilized to demonstrate different optical instruments and a method for observing interference fringes from the surface of a mirror. (SL)
