Physics307L:Schedule/Week 8 agenda
From OpenWetWare
Discussion of Survey
Discussion of Lab
Summary for Lab#2
Rough draft of final report due beginning of Week 12 (Nov. 5)
Bonus points on final lab writeup given for contributions to wiki lab manual (a lot of you have a great start on this already)
Lecture (still need to whittle this down)
Review of computing standard error of the mean (as a group)
Use multiple measurements from real experiment (millikan?)
Discuss discrepancy and systematic error in regards to this experiment
Maximum Likelihood
Weighted average & relation to maximum likelihood
Fitting a line: maximum likelihood
Chi-squared
Error propagation (qualitative)
Graph showing change in y versus change in x
- [math]\displaystyle{ a=\sqrt{\left(\frac{b}{2p}\right)^2+\frac{9\eta v_f}{2g\rho}}-\frac{b}{2p} }[/math] (radius of droplet in meters)
[math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math]
