A soap bubble on the end of a cylindrical tube is seen to deflate as the higher pressure air inside the bubble escapes through a tube. We perform an experiment to measure the radius of the slowly deflating bubble and observe...
When a ferrofluid drop is trapped in a horizontal Hele-Shaw cell and subjected to a vertical magnetic field, a fingering instability results in the droplet evolving into a complex branched structure. This fingering instability...
An impressive demonstration of magnetism can be accomplished by placing some metal paperclips on a horizontal surface and then applying a vertical magnetic field. As the field is increased, the paperclips suddenly jump up, do a...
For more information on the published version, Amazon's Website., Explorations in Physics (EiP) is a set of curricular materials developed to help non-science majors acquire an appreciation of science, understand the process of...
We describe a series of experiments used in a sophomore-level quantum physics course that are designed to provide students with a hands-on introduction to quantum mechanics. By measuring correlations, we demonstrate that a...
We discuss a project on rigid-body motion that is appropriate for students in an upper-division course in classical mechanics. We analyze the motion of Hurricane Balls, two spheres that are welded (or glued) together so they...
