Hey guys, I need to make a powerpoint/write a report on any topic related to physics, but I'm having a hard time choosing. This is for my AP Physics class, and I was wondering if you guys could help me choose a topic! What would you be interested to learn/hear about for 15 minutes if you were in my class? lol. It's just a simple 15 minute powerpoint presentation on one topic. Anything come to mind that would be interesting/simple/not too complicated?

Thanks! :)

Yes it is! Especially since there are several kinds of rainbows. You could cover the physics behind a basic rainbow, and show some of the neat variations (like the rainbow ring you see around the shadow cast by your airplane in the clouds below you...
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
