For my undergraduate physics lab, we are asked to spend 3 weeks (3 3-hour sessions + any time during the week if I need extra time) doing an experiment of our own choosing. The physics department will provide any experimental tools needed within reason. I have been considering using this...

I am a second year physics undergrad at UCSB with a decent gpa (3.65). I am wondering if anyone here has any suggestions of things I should get involved with to improve my resume for future research/internships. As of now I do not have much of anything to put on a resume, besides non-physics...

Sorry I should have mentioned that; No I am a UC Santa Barbara 2nd year physics major

I want to find an undergrad research spot at UC Davis over the summer since I'll be in the area; however, I believe I've missed the deadline for summer REU applications. Seeing as Davis gets an influx of undergrad researchers from their REU program, do I have any chance in scoring a spot by...

This question was on our final, but I do not completely understand what the professor was trying to say. 1. Homework Statement "A charge Q is located at a distance d above an infinitely large grounded half-plane located in the x-y plane and at a distance d from another grounded half-plane in...
