Physics Club

Physics club officers and members. We should start thinking about the fall.  Can we have one after school meeting per month to accommodate those who can't make mornings?  What topics would you like to present? Is there a less expensive way to supply the bagels?

E mail your ideas to me.

Honors Research Topics in Physics

Those of you taking this course can email me with any preferences you have for topics you would like to cover.  Samples from a previous year include:

1) Fusion power including: plasma physics, magnetic confinement, fusion reactions, thermodynamics of power generation, and electromagnetics and details of electric generators

2) Particle physics including: special relativity, collisions between electrons and nuclei, designof accelerators, particle detectors

3) Electromagnetic waves including: optics of the eye, TV signals, operation of cathode ray tubes
