Second Edition
By
Adrian Melissinos, University of Rochester
Jim Napolitano, Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute
Description
A revision of the leading text on experimental physics. The feature of this book that has made it one of the most loved texts on the
subject is that it goes far beyond a mere description of key experiments in physics. The author successfully provides the reader with
an understanding and appreciation of the 'physics' behind the experiments. The second edition will be an extensive revision introducing
many new devices, including the use of computers and software programs, that have come into use since the publication of the first edition.
In addition the important areas of condensed matter physics and optical physics will be added, including two entirely new chapters on
lasers and optics.
Audience
A primary market will be as a text for junior and senior level courses on experimental physics offered in almost all major departments.
At the professional level it will be useful as a basic primer/reference.
