Anno XLII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2009 Insegnare male la fisica
In a paradoxical mode the author presents a list of suggestions for making the teaching of physics repulsive and ineffective. […]
Anno XLVI - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2013 Integrali con la bilancia, da un’idea di Enrico Fermi
Beyond his scientific works and lectures Enrico Fermi left a lot of simple ideas and suggestions that show his unique way of applying the procedures of one science to another science. His idea of using physics to solve the mathematical problem of estimating the value of a definite integral with a sheet of paper and a scale is described and applied to the simple case of estimating π. […]
Anno XXXVI - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2003 Intensità di segnali acustici e luminosi
An experimental procedure is described for studying how certain subjective quantities, such as the perceived intensities of light and sound, depend on the observer’s distance from the source. […]
Anno XXXVIII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2005 “Interazione della radiazione con la materia” – Un modulo integrativo di fisica
A short unit on the interaction of radiation with the matter is proposed for student of the last years of the secondary school. The course has two aims: to form citizens with an enhanced knowledge in this field and to help the students to choose their future course of studies. […]
Anno XXIV - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 1991 Interfaccia cronometro per personal computer
A time-measuring device that can be connected to any MS-DOS PC through the standard CENTRONICS parallel printer’s connector is described. The start-stop sensors can be either electromechanical or electronic. A dedicated software controls the device’s operation and status. […]
Anno XXVI - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 1993 Interfaccia per misure on-line nel laboratorio di fisica con computer Apple
We describe hardware and software of a low-cost interface board designed to allow easy measurement of analog quantities and time intervals by Apple IIe computer in the physics laboratory. The device includes a timer, a four channel A/D converter and the corresponding conditioning circuits for data acquisition. […]
