Determination of Absolute Zero Using a Computer-Based Laboratory
Amrani, D.
Physics Education, v42 n3 p304-307 May 2007
We present a simple computer-based laboratory experiment for evaluating absolute zero in degrees Celsius, which can be performed in college and undergraduate physical sciences laboratory courses. With a computer, absolute zero apparatus can help demonstrators or students to observe the relationship between temperature and pressure and use datalogger software to mathematically extrapolate to find absolute zero. (Contains 3 figures.)
