These standards define four categories of learning goals around which all of the labs are based. Each lab contains elements from each of the 4 standards.

These were listed on the lab homepage, but as a reminder we provide them again here. For the introductory physics laboratories here at the University of Chicago, we have adopted a set of learning objectives.

It is not intended to be a checklist; rather, it provides examples of the sorts of things that we expect from TAs ( text/html 2026-04-02T12:11:37+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.physlab-wiki.com/phylabs/lab_courses/phys-140-wiki-home/wave-motion-and-sound-130?rev=1775146297&do=diff Experiment Setup Notes from 2025: * Time of flight for sound not great (removed 2026) * Grids were helpful * Scope skills still not great * External triggering still confusing (note added 2026) Wave Motion and Sound Waves appear all around us and show up in many different systems. In this experiment, we provide the following three examples for you to study:$y_1 = A\sin (kx - \omega t)$$A$$\omega = 2\pi f$$f$$k = 2\pi/\lambda$$\lambda$$v=\lambda f = \omega /k$$y_2 = A\sin (kx + \omega…
