The Physical Laboratory was designed by Richard Threlfall, M.A., F.R.S., Hon. Fellow of Caius College, Cambridge, then Professor of Physics in the University, and was built under his supervision. The building was commenced in 1886, and completed early in 1888. Considerable additional laboratory accommodation was provided in 1901 by an extension of one side of the building. The Laboratory was founded for the encouragement of the study of Physical Science, and its object is not only to afford facilities for imparting instruction but also for aiding research. 19.-PRACTICAL PHYSICS. FIRST YEAR. The course consists of quantitative experiments in the following: Measurement of Length. Estimation of Mass. Determination of Density. Thermometry and Expansion. Calorimetry. Determination of Musical Pitch. Measurement of Velocity of Sound in the Air and in Solids. Reflection and Refraction of Light. Total Reflection. Refractive Indices. Elementary Spectroscopy. Double Refraction. Polarisation of Light. Fundamental Experiments of Electro-statics. Electrometer and Galvanometer Measurements. Measurement of Resistance. Electro-magnetic Induction. All students attending the Physical Laboratory are required to keep a record of their practical work in special note-books, to be obtained from W. E. Smith, Bridge Street. These notebooks form the basis on which marks are allotted for Practical Physics at the annual examination. Students presenting themselves for examination in Physics. at the end of any Academic Year during which they have not attended the Laboratory must also present themselves for examination in Practical Physics. Text Book.-Practical Physics, Pollock and Vonwiller. SECOND YEAR. The course consists of quantitative experiments in the following: Expansion of Solids and Gases. Elasticity of Solids. Measurement of Time. Determination of Moments of Inertia. Pendulums. Magnetic Measurements.
