Practical works comparing theory to measurable realities play an essential role in how physics is learnt. Following a description of the various sensors in a smartphone (accelerometer, microphone, gyroscope...), this book explains how to use them to test the major principles in physics, mechanics, acoustics and optics. By using simple and free applications, it is possible to measure the speed of sound, to transform a smartphone into a microscope, to study lighting and the transit of exoplanetsÂ… Each experiment corresponds to the course work enabling the reader to round out their understanding of the experiment noted. This 2nd edition includes the Fizziq application and two new sections on Programming your own function with Phyphox Editor and Enhancing your smartphone with Arduino or a Bluetooth device.
