Chapter 2 General overview of the report layout 2.1 The general laboratory report layout The laboratory report to be produced in the first two years should include the following sections: 1) Date and experiment name and number. 2) Name and Surname. 3) Instrumentation 4) Sources of errors and precautions. 5) Diagrams (if applicable)
The Sun is the major source of light for the earth. The sun is a massive ball of fire, at the centre of which nuclear fusion produces massive energy. This energy comes out as heat and light.
The goal of lab reports is to document your findings in physics lab experiment and clearly communicate their significance. A good lab report does more than present data; it demonstrates the writer's comprehension of the concepts behind the data.
We will follow this general procedure in this lab to measure the specific heat of an unknown substance and identify the substance by comparing the specific heat to a table of specific heats. A word of caution is appropriate here. We will use mercury-filled thermometers to measure temperatures.
Chemical energy can be converted into thermal energy by reactions like oxidation. Chemical reactions can also produce electrical energy, such as in batteries. Electrical energy can, in turn, produce thermal energy and light, such as in an electric heater or a light bulb.
Q1. What are the different modes of heat transfer? Conduction. Convection. Radiation.
Summarize your overall evaluation of the report in 2-3 sentences. Focus on the experiment’s method and its result. For example, “The authors dropped balls from different heights to determine the value of g”. You don’t need to go into the specific details, just give a high level summary of the report. If the report is unclear, specify this.
