Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Practical Physics
Though many good manuals of elementary practical physics are available for general use in Secondary Schools, there are few of a reasonable size and moderate price suitable for students working to the standard of the pass Intermediate examinations of various British universities. Repeated requests for a course to correspond with this need are responsible for the preparation of the present laboratory guide. It is not suggested that the book contains all that such Intermediate examinations may demand as regards experimental work; nevertheless, the student who has performed most of the experiments described, and understands the principles taught by them, should find himself able to undertake any ordinary practical exercise in elementary physics.
Apart from examination requirements, the scope and substance of the course are such as may be followed profitably by those senior students in Secondary Schools who propose to specialise in science.
It is not assumed that students of Intermediate standard will require to carry out all the experiments described, as the majority of them will have taken already a preliminary course in physical measurements. But, as such previous work must vary in different cases, the course here described is complete in itself and includes a brief treatment of preliminary measurements, which may perhaps serve a useful purpose as revision exercises.
A number of the experiments are preceded by a brief reference to the theory of the principles involved.
