Anno XXXV - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2002 Un’esperienza interessante in 1ª C¹ ovvero le straordinarie virtù di una molla giocattolo
Several experiments with the Slinky lend themselves to an analysis in terms of energy that is rigorous and easily comprehensible at the highschool level. […]
Anno XXVI - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 1993 Un’esperienza sul campionamento di un segnale.
Exploring signal sampling techniques through an optical experiment. The reconstruction of an optical image of a simple pattern matched to a diffraction grating is proposed as an example of data analysis by digital method. Correspondence between analysis of time dependent digital signals and of spatial digital functions is outlined. […]
Anno LI - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2018 Un esperimento “classico” rivisitato: la misura di h con i LED
A variation of the “classical” experiment for the measurement of Planck’s constant h using LEDs was proposed at the 2018 AI F Summer school of L’Aquila. This variation, in which the discharge of a capacitor provides the needed variable voltage and the measurements are made with an Arduino board, […]
Anno XXVIII - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 1995 Un esperimento dimostrativo sul fenomeno della fotoconducibilità, cioè della diminuzione di resistenza elettrica di un semiconduttore indotta dalla luce
This experiment demonstrates the photoconductive effect for Si and Ge samples illuminated by quasi monochromatic light. The vanishing of the effect for longer wavelengths allows a qualitative estimation of the fotonductive threshold which is related to the energy gap of the material. […]
Anno XLII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2009 Un esperimento meccanico ed uno elettrico sul caos deterministico
The inverted torsional pendulum (often used as a tool to study non-linear oscillations and the transition to deterministic chaos) is here compared to an electric non-linear oscillator which shows a quite similar dynamic behaviour: the motion equation of the second system is exactly described by the Duffing equation, […]
Anno XXVIII - n.2 - aprile/giugno 1995 Un esperimento per determinare l’andamento del rapporto Q/V per un conduttore qualsiasi
This article describes a simple method to experiment the relation Q/V=const, by means of the direct measurement of Q and V. The necessary equipment can be easily found in any physics laboratory, as it is basically made of a 0-600V dc generator, […]
Anno XLVI - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2013 Un esperimento per introdurre il caos deterministico nei licei
In this work it is shown how it is possible to build a simple device: the dripping faucet. This physical system exhibits an extremely interesting dynamic behaviour, useful to introduce the subject of deterministic chaos in high schools […]
