AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a short film project exploring the intersection of Physics and Pharmacy. Participants suggest incorporating concepts like radioisotopic labeling and molecular physics, which are integral to pharmacological research. Specific examples include radioimmunoassays, radioactive decay, and safety protocols related to radiation. The conversation highlights the practical challenges faced, such as a broken gamma counter, necessitating collaboration with a neighboring school. Overall, the project aims to creatively illustrate the vital role of Physics in the field of Pharmacy.

We have a short film project in Physics about the role of Physics in our course. I am a pharmacy student and me and my 3 teammates tried to write a plot summary but our storyline is not that good.

Can you provide me with any ideas we can do for our project? Thanks!

If it can be related to pharmacological research there is something called radioisotopic labeling. There's also molecular physics just about everywhere in pharmacology.

My colleague and I were writing the standard operating procedures today for some radioimmunoassays that we will be doing in October. Radioactive decay, tracer half-life calculation, tracer concentration calculation, Gamma-ray CPM calculation, radiation safety, etc.. All related to physics!

And our highlight of the day was we found out the gamma counter at our department is broken! So in October we will have to go to our neighbor - school of pharmacy - to use their gamma counter! Now, a new chapter in our SOP is needed - radioactive material transportation safety! :)
 
Thank you so much dimensionless and zspdztzx! I will try to make a plot with your suggestions. Thanks again! :)
 
You can't spell physics or pharmacy without 'ph'. Medicinal compounds were once called 'physics' (plural)
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
