Before The Lab

You must watch the Laser Safety video in the 111-Lab before you use the apparatus in this experiment. Then fill out and turn into 111-Lab Staff the required laser safety form.

Read the lab writeup and required readings, discuss the pre-lab questions with an instructor, and have the Staff Sign-off Sheet (MOT) signed. You may find it useful to review principles of optics in the Optics Tutorial.
