Guys, My teacher told me that i have to study for physics olympiad this year, but he is too busy too teach me intensively, so what should i do for my preparation?
Do you have any recomended books or websites maybe? Anyway thanks for your adviceQuantumQuest said:Apart from having a very good grasp of the concepts you've learned so far and having solved a great deal of problems, you have to think "out of the box". It is a good idea, to take a look at what have been asked in Physics Olympiads the previous years and there are good books and web resources to do it.
Thanks man :)QuantumQuest said:For International Physics Olympiads take a look here: http://www.ipho.org/.
For some problems and solutions of some previous years: http://ipho.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/problems-and-solutions_5.html. Also, there is this book https://www.amazon.com/dp/981455667X/?tag=pfamazon01-20 from Japan Olympiads and you can find exercises and answers from various countries physics Olympiads all over the web.
A physics olympiad is an international competition that tests high school students' knowledge and understanding of physics. It is different from a regular physics competition because it focuses on challenging conceptual problems rather than simple calculations. Additionally, it often includes experimental and theoretical components, as well as a team component.
To prepare for a physics olympiad, it is important to have a strong foundation in physics concepts and principles. You can also practice solving challenging problems, both individually and in a team setting. It is also helpful to study past olympiad questions and solutions to get a better understanding of the types of problems that are typically asked.
The amount of time you should dedicate to studying for a physics olympiad will depend on your current level of understanding and your goals. Generally, it is recommended to start preparing at least 6 months in advance and to study consistently for a few hours each day.
There are many resources available for physics olympiad preparation, such as textbooks, study guides, and online resources. Additionally, many countries have national physics olympiad teams and training programs that provide resources and support to students preparing for the olympiad.
To improve your problem-solving skills for a physics olympiad, it is important to practice solving a variety of challenging problems. You can also work on developing your critical thinking and analytical skills, as well as familiarizing yourself with different problem-solving strategies. Additionally, participating in group problem-solving sessions can also help improve your skills through collaboration and discussion.
