Abstract
A computer augmented physics lab has been developed for the third-quarter introductory physics course in wave motion, sound, and light. New experiments are designed with application to interesting phenomena of the real world. The speed of sound and its temperature dependence are measured using time-of-flight techniques. Phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction, and anomalous propagation (mirage) are studied using the He-Ne laser. The computer is used to process and analyze experimental data and to extend experimental observations through simulation.
