Course description
This course provides students the experimental training in measurement methods for detecting photons and luminescence of spectra line. Students also learn how to characterize the functions of model Stirling engine and heat pump through measurement of various parameters such as temperature, pressure, and rotation speed.
Expected Learning
1. Able to learn the method for detecting photons and luminescence.
2. Able to learn the method for characterizing thermodynamic devices
3. Able to give an oral presentation about the results of the laboratory
Course schedule
Week 1: Detecting photons using photomultiplier tube
Week 2: Observation of fluctuation for photoelectron appearance
