Undergraduate
Physics Laboratories


(DIRECTOR: FRAN MORRISSEY)


RESONANT FREQUENCES



Like a well oil machine, the physics lab can be seen here operating at top efficiency! The undergrads frantically attempt to understand the connections between tension, vibrational length, mass per unit length, and frequency in the resonant systems they are investigating.


Work, work, work... there is no end to work!!!! These students listen "attentively" as I present the keys to which the mysteries of the universe can be revealed!!!! To the right, one of my undergraduate fans tries to rush the front desk... luckily security was able to restrain him (barely) while he kept screaming, "autograph, autograph, AUTOGRAPH..."


One of the graduate students found my camera and infiltrated my lab to take this high quality picture just as I was turning around. Excellent! The secrets of the Universe are not so easily uncovered as this student begins to formulate his discussion.


It is very unfortunate that my students still don't have command of the principles of kinematics (relationships between distance, velocity, acceleration, and time) The camera should be held a significant "distance" from the argument, with zero "velocity" which results in zero "acceleration" for a period of "time" for exposure!


This Hi Res Picture covers the entire lab room. I'm really going to miss my kids!


I was visited by "quick draw" Bonner (picture to the left - in the background)... Thankfully, I didn't give him a reason to gun us down... Due to my quick thinking, many lives were saved. Here is an interesting picture to the right; Some students become so enraptured in the subject of physics they become oblivious to all things occurring around them... then again, others don't...


Students leaving... The Students have left the building...
