University of Virginia Library

Primarily for Graduates.

Course 4D: Spectroscopy: Course 3C prerequisite.—Theory and
use of the spectroscope and its application to physical and astronomical
problems. Hours by appointment. Dr. Guthrie.

[Only one of the courses 3C and 4D will be given in one session].

A Laboratory Fee of five dollars is required for each course.

The Rouss Physical Laboratory was designed to meet the requirements
of practical physics. The building throughout is characterized
by structural stability. The student and other laboratory
work rooms are abundantly lighted, while some may be darkened
at will. This is true also of the main lecture room, whose single
skylight is controlled from the lecture table. There is a general
distribution of water over the building, while all the rooms are supplied
with steam heat, gas, and electricity.

The equipment, besides that for elementary practical work and
an unusually rich stock of apparatus for lecture experiments in general
physics, includes a special line of electrical and optical instruments,
a 21½ ft. concave grating with Rowland mounting, photographic
dark room, liquid-air plant, and storage battery, and a
machine shop for the repair and building of physical apparatus. For
advanced practical work in some lines the facilities offered are exceptional.
