Welcome to the ISU Physics Department's Physics Lab II website. All labs begin the week of January 23th during the 2012 spring semester. You will need to download, print (on a quality printer), and bring with you to the first (orientation) lab a copy of both the syllabus and a spring lab schedule.
The course manual is available free, by chapter, below. You are required to read the appropriate chapter before attending lab each week. Be sure to download and print a hard copy of each chapter and bring it with you to lab. There are video overviews for most labs and you should make sure that you view these before coming to lab.
Please read the lab FAQ for course policies and procedures, tips on accessing files, etc.
Lab finals begin the week of April 23th (see the schedule). Enjoy the semester and good luck.
Important Notice: If your lab final is canceled due to University closure it will be rescheduled for the same time the following week.
