SUMMARY

Chris seeks a physics topic to study within two days due to a requirement from his tutor. Suggestions include exploring sound physics, specifically a closed tube experiment to determine wave speed and harmonics. This topic is manageable within a limited timeframe and provides a solid foundation in acoustics. Participants in the discussion offer support and further assistance if needed.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of wave mechanics
  • Familiarity with sound properties and harmonics
  • Knowledge of experimental physics methods
  • Ability to conduct simple physics experiments
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of wave speed in closed tubes
  • Study the concept of harmonics and their formation in sound waves
  • Learn about the physics of sound and its applications
  • Explore experimental setups for sound wave demonstrations
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics, educators seeking engaging topics for lessons, and anyone interested in practical applications of sound physics.

I need to find and study a topic of physics. My tutor told me he wants me to study something in one of several different topics and physics is one of my choices. He has told me if I do not learn something new in 3 days he will not study with me anymore. I have 2 days to learn it and I need to learn it very well. I am looking for some suggestions about a fun fairly easy topic to study. I work 10-18 hours a day so I do not have much time in those 2 days. Please if you have any suggestions let me know. If you can suggest more then one I That would be very helpful as we have studied a lot of physics already together. Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.


Thank you for reading,
Chris
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In what area of physics do you nedd a topic?
 
raise you eyes, look on something, ask yourself how does it work, stick with basics.
Do you how does CRT monitor works?
 
Wow, not to put hte pressure on jeez :bugeye:...A topic in physics huh. Hmm, :rolleyes:can it be anything within the field of physics? You could do something in sound. A close tube experiment perhaps. That wouldn't take very much time. You could show how to find the speed of a wave in a closed tube and explain why only certain harmonics appear from that fundamental frequency. I can provide more information if you like. It sounds complicated but isn't. It doesn't take all that much time either. You could easily fit it into your day. PM or e-mail me if you want some more help. I'd be more than happy and willing to help you. :smile:

Thank you

I sent you a pm thank you for taking your time to help me.
 
I got it. You are very welcome.
 
TL;DR: How can I begin to gain an understanding of astronomy? Hello there, and thank you in advance to anyone that might answer this. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post a question like this, as I am new to this website and also very nervous about making a post that others might see/reply to. I am a freshman in high school and I am interested in astronomy. I want to learn about space, but I am not quite sure where to begin. Is there anything that I can do to seriously expand my...
