The discussion revolves around potential topics that integrate the concepts of oscillations and particles within electromagnetic fields, particularly in the context of a presentation for a physics examination. The scope includes theoretical and applied aspects of physics related to waves and particles.
Participants present multiple competing views on potential topics without reaching a consensus on a single best option.
Participants express varying levels of familiarity with the suggested topics, indicating that some may require further explanation or simplification for the intended audience.
Students preparing for physics presentations, educators looking for topic ideas related to oscillations and electromagnetic fields, and anyone interested in the intersection of wave and particle physics.

I am in my last year of school (12th grade in Germany) and the presentation is supposed to be about 10 minutes long. It is for my oral examination in physics (called Abitur, like A-levels in England or finals in the USA)malawi_glenn said:What academic level is this for, and how long is your presentation meant to be?
If you can make sense of this wiki article then there's enough there for a short presentation on the TWT. Ask here for a 'translation' of the more obscure bits but it really is a very straightforward device to get the idea of.nrckls said:I am in my last year of school (12th grade in Germany) and the presentation is supposed to be about 10 minutes long.

Where do the 'waves' come into it - except for the oscillating magnetic field and the deflection? I guess that, bearing in mind the level of the exercise, the idea of an oscillating field and scanning would be enough for a useful ten minutes of talk.tech99 said:How about describing the cathode ray tube?
