Overview

With some 300 buildings, 40,000 students, 250,000 living alumni, and a reputation for excellence that reaches around the globe, McGill has carved out a spot among the world’s greatest universities. “Here at McGill University we use PASCO Scientific instruments to conduct physics experiments over a broad range of topics from mechanics to modern physics across multiple academic years” says Saverio Biunno, Lab Superintendent of the Department of Physics at McGill.

Investigation

“In the photos below, we are in the first year physics laboratory using the PASCO photoelectric effect setup to demonstrate the quantization of light and accurately determine Planck’s constant. Of the many items that we use, my students are most impressed with the Franck Hertz unit.”

Outcome

“PASCO’s user friendly apparatus’ free up time for the student to fully explore the physics behind the experiment while making precise measurements.”
