Laboratory Experiments in Physics for Modern Astronomy : With Comprehensive Development of the Physical Principles
This book presents experiments which will teach physics relevant to astronomy. The astronomer, as instructor, frequently faces this need when his college or university has no astronomy department and any astronomy course is taught in the physics department. The physicist, as instructor, will find th...
