Calling Physics people...again

[black2002ls]

Hopefully I can get some ideas on this in the next....8 hours. I have to do a research project for my Seminar class. Anyone have any ideas?

An object in Motion tends to stay in motion until acted upon by another object?

hope this helps

Faraday's law usually leaves people baffled. Worked for me.

I must have missed something. I'll just add this, if you take into account your personal weight, gravitational acceleration(Lat./Long. Corrected), relative humidity, and the speeed at which you are driving, (Keeping Units Consistent!) you can prove this statement: Now matter where you go, there you are!!!!! It's true!!! :unibrow:

I beleive I'm going to do my research on nano structures. thanks for the ummm...input? :D

How about Wave-Particle Duality

What level of physics is this for. Is the classic specific to any subject matter or is it a general overall class?

I had a professor that did a bunch of research work in nano-technology, that's some cool stuff. Related to that, you could do your research on DLP technology. It uses nano-mirrors to focus the light onto the screen. I think they are controlled by magnets. You could even build a large scale representation of the mirror setup???? Again, I'm just brainstorming. I don't really know what the specific deliverable they've asked for needs to consist of.


Good Luck

That sounds interesting. Obviously I was messing around with my previous post. It has been 13 years since I graduated and I find it amazing how much I do not use from school. The stuff I do use, I use all the time. It depends on where your career takes you.... The point of this is, if you have any idea what you would like to do for a living try and apply that to this project. Pick a subject that you may be able to apply to your future career. When I think back to when I had to pick projects, I should have done other things. I guess hind sight is definately 20/20. Just some food for thought....

thank you for the input. At this point, not sure what I want to do. I am merely looking...more like hoping for a job

Method of Edge Waves in the Physical Theory of Diffraction

If you can swallow this.... Ill get you a job.

I wish I could. If I looked into it and studied it I might be able to. What I've read through a couple of google searches, it has to do with optics correct? Unfortunately that particular class never fit my schedule as it was an elective and offered at the same time as required courses. So my background in that is quite scarce

No, not necessarily. It is in the "wave" theater, but is more towards radio frequency wave propagation. Light and EM wave theroy share many similarities, specifically the geometrical relations... if you can understand one of them... you'll be able to understand the other.

Method of Edge Waves in the Physical Theory of Diffraction is really the Rosetta Stone to understanding wave propagation and the how to manage it.

If you are thinking career, think future. Everything we do is going EM somehow. From wireless telecom, networking, medical devices... to earth and spaced based technology.

How about applications for "Buckyballs"??

They are supposed to be a new form of solid carbon structure..

"A new allotrope of carbon - fullerene, and a particular molecule of that allotrope C60 (buckminsterfullerene or buckyball) has been named after him. The Buckminsterfullerene molecule, which consists of 60 carbon atoms, very closely resembles a spherical version of Fuller's geodesic dome (or Soccer ball). The 1996 Nobel prize in chemistry was given to Kroto, Curl, Smalley for their discovery of fullerenes.[2] "

What about a paper on time? Time and and how it changes with speed has always fascinated me, as has time around black holes.
