Experimental researches on the physical characteristics of rotating liquid are required for collegestudents in the 2lst century.Due to the short of experimental skills ,students usually have experimental errors irthe process of experimental operation, which can affect the measurement accuracies of the gravitationalacceleration in the data processing phase.lt innovatively carried out different types of experimental errors tostudy effects of the deviation angle(a) of the transparent screen from the horizontal orientation , laser verticalincidence point offset( Ax) ,and deviation angle(y) of laser incident light from the vertical direction angle onthe acceleration of gravity measurement.The analysis results show that a deviation angle of 5° of the transparentscreen from the horizontal orientation can lead to a 5.5% error in the acceleration of gravity measurement.Aaser vertical incidence point offset about 5 mm can result in an experimental error of about 12%.Moreover,a16.3% measurement error can be obtained by an incident light deviating 5° from the vertical direction to theleft while the error grows to 22.9% when the laser incident light deviates 5° from the vertical direction to theright. These findings can provide theoretical foundations and teaching tips for teachers in colleges anduniversities to reduce the measurement error of gravity acceleration when guiding students to conductexperiments on rotating liquid characteristics.

It points out the main factors that affect the accurate measurement of sodium light wavelength in thedouble prism interlerence experiment; delermination of the position of virtual light source, measurement ovirtual light source spacing, and measurement of inteference fringe spacing. The research shows that thposition of virtual light source can be accurately determined by the lens imaging method.n addition,the virtuaight source spacing can be accurately measured by using the lens imaging method to measure the spacing othe magnified image of the virtual light source and the corresponding object and image distances. Finally, theinterlerence fringe spacing can be accurately determined by measuring and averaging the distances of as many interference fringes as possible farther away from the virtual light source.Using these measurement methods . thesodium light wavelength can be accurately obtained.

The measurement of metal electron escape work is equivalent to determining electron potentiaenergy, which is of great significance for understanding the microscopic atomic structure , especially formodifying the relevant nuclear structure theory and calculation methods.The process of escape work experimentskillfully combines the relationship between various energy levels of metal tungsten crystal cells.lt flexibly usesthe characteristics of linear fitting to simplify the data relationship, which plays a guiding role in the study ofmodern physics experiments. Because of the differences in the escape work measured by differentexperimenters,the escape work is likely related to the crystal plane of tungsten used in the experiment.Therefore ,based on the first principle , the electron escape work of tungsten with different crystal planes canalso be calculated directly.We will compare the metal electron escape work obtained by experimental operationand first-principles calculation, and intuitively analyze the influence of different crvstals on metal electronescape work to provide new ideas and ways to study physical experiments.
