In no more than 300 words, briefly summarize your
work. Report your final results and the level of agreement with
theoretical predictions and/or accepted values.
Discuss the significance of the work. That is, explain why it is
useful and/or important to study the topic at hand. Most if not all of
the things you measure in this course have already been measured, so
you may want to take a historical approach to your introductions. Cite
original or early measurements if you can find them.
Describe the experiment, apparatus, and methods in enough detail to
enable your reader to repeat your measurements with similar
equipment. Include diagrams and pictures as needed. Discuss
uncertainties in raw measurements, but save statistical analysis for
the Analysis and Results section. Present raw measurements with
uncertainties in tabular form if you can fit them into less than one
page. Otherwise, show some representative data.
Describe how you extracted your final results from the raw
measurements discussed in the Experiment section. Include key
equations, and clearly relate all parameters to the experimental setup
described in the Experiment section. Without including complete
derivations of key equations, show enough important steps that an
interested reader could reasonably be expected to fill in the rest.
Give a brief summary of your results, and compare them with
theoretical predictions and/or accepted values. Discuss ways of
improving your measurements.
