I have to think of a topic for my coursework, which can be anything as long as it is related to physics. It must be possible to perform any experiments within 10 hours of class time (although I would be willing to go in at lunch time if needed). It must be also possible for the coursework to be completed with equpment which they have at an average college.

Although it seems easy to pick a topic because you can do anything, but the breadth of what I can do.

If anyone has any ideas i would greatly appretiate to hear them.

Thanks

!One possible topic could be the physics of sound. You could explore the properties of various frequencies and their effects on the environment, such as how different frequencies interact with one another and affect the speed of sound in different mediums. You could also experiment with the effects of varying amplitudes and volume levels on sound waves, and even explore the physics of sound as it relates to musical instruments. Additionally, you could explore the effects of sound on materials and objects, such as the resonance of a given material or object. All of these experiments can be done within 10 hours of class time and with the equipment available at an average college.
