Experiment	Computer Control?	Optics Table Needed?	Light Sensitive?	Shareable?	Other Notes
Oscilloscope	No	No	No	Yes	Requires an oscilloscope and function generator for each student
Speed of Light	No	Yes	No	Yes	Requires fast (>300 MHz BW) oscilloscope. Can be done in 1 session if optics set up beforehand
Acoustic Impedance Spectroscopy	Yes (Jr Tower 2)	No	No	Yes	New lab by Jim Thomas, uses Matlab. Needs long table
Balmer Series	No	No	Yes	Alignment and calibration can change if data-taking is split between two sections	Can be done in 1 session by 1 person (longer with 2)
Poisson Statistics	Yes (Jr Tower 3)	No	No	Conflicts with Compton Scattering	Can be done in 1 session
Planck's Constant	No	No	Yes	Yes
Compton Scattering	Yes (Jr Tower 3)	No	No	Conflicts with Poisson Statistics
Electron Diffraction	No	No	Yes	Yes
Ratio of e/m	No	No	Yes	Not easily shareable between sections
Franck-Hertz	Yes (Jr Tower 1)	No	No	Not easily shareable between sections	Labview VI in Public folder of admin account
Electron Spin Resonance	No	No	No	Not easily shareable between sections
Charge of the Electron	No	No	No	Not easily shareable between sections
