Methods of Experimental Physics (Electronic book text)

Based on the modern approach of information theory, this book presents novel experimental techniques, tools, and data processing methods for physics applications. It shows readers how to plan and perform experimental investigations, data processing, and interpretation. The author first discusses Fourier optics before explaining holography and spectrometry tools and theories. Bringing together approaches that have previously been scattered in the literature, the book covers high-speed photography, interferometry and holography, Fourier optics and spectroscopy, visible and x-ray spectroscopy, and corpuscular investigation methods.
