The Waves labs will be done in four three-week rotations as shown (tentatively) below. Although each group of labs will be done during the corresponding group of weeks, different people will do the labs at various times during each four-week period. Because of the need to rotate through the labs in this way, you will not always do a lab at the optimum time relative to the discussion of the corresponding material in class. In those cases in which you must do a lab before the relevant physics is covered in lecture, you will be given adequate information to allow you to do the experiment and analyze (and understand) the results. The two-week long projects come after the third rotation, at which point you will be familiar with all the waves lab equipment.
