Describes how a thermosyphoning solar water heater capable of heating 110 kilogram of water to 80 degree Celsius and maintaining this temperature for 24 hours was constructed by four students in the fifth form of Sekolah Date Abdul Razak, Seremban, Malaysia in 1976. (HM)

Describes three different courses in physics at three different institutions Physics and electronics for four years heading to a joint-honors degree, physics of the senses as an optional unit for one year, and a course system to allow flexibility in timetable and freedom of choice. (GA)

A demonstration to illustrate sum and difference frequencies of a nonlinear device is explained. (MDR)

After briefly reviewing equations of conduction and diffusion, and voltage and charge in electrical circuits, a simple experiment is given that allows students practical experience in a theoretical realm of physics. (MDR)

Descriptions of undergraduate physics programs are given: physics with geophysics physics with solid state electronics, physics with medical physics, and honors physics. (MDR)

A discussion of the course work in and the various major options of the undergraduate physics program at the University of Warwick is given. (MDR)

Describes the construction and use of a simple apparatus to measure the magnetization density and magnetic susceptibility of ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and the diamagnetic solids and liquids. (Author/GA)

Discusses an experiment designed to give students a feel for the way in which theoretical models evolve. Students are given a system unknown to them and asked to develop a consistent model which fully explains all their observations on the system. (Author/GA)

Describes the technique, effects, and results of examining painting via neutron activation analysis. (SL)

Describes a hand held calculator exercise for computing the Rydberg Constant accurately. (SL)

Describes the apparatus and procedures for conducting an experiment to measure the relative brightness and degree of polarization of the sky. (SL)

Discusses using the teaching technique of requiring students to describe what will happen prior to conducting demonstrations and experiments. (SL)

Describes the construction and operation of an apparatus to demonstrate acoustical resonance. (SL)

The basic physical principles of dye lasers are discussed and used to analyze the design and operation of tunable dye lasers pumped by pulsed nitrogen lasers. Details of the design and construction of these dye lasers are presented. Some simple demonstration experiments are described. (BB)

Describes a thought experiment using a general analysis approach with Lorentz transformations to show that the apparent self-contradictions of special relativity concerning the length-paradox are really non-existant. (GA)
