PHYSICS 4D LabMany students find the Physics 4D lab to be the most interesting of the sequence, as we probe "modern" physics. Note that unlike the previous lab courses, the labs in 4D do not closely track the lecture, so it is advised that you read the lab well ahead of time so that you can ask the professor questions if you feel you don't have a strong grasp of the background physics.It is important for scientists to be able to talk about their experiments in a public forum. In order to help develop this skill, each lab will be explained by a group of students. These students should perform the experiment prior to the lab, discuss their results with the professor, and then aid other students as lab assistants on the day of lab.
