What is a good research problem in Physics for a 4th Year HS Student?

Question

What about quantum mechanics,be specific.

I think I need an improvisation of something relating to Physics.

Please, be honest, this is very important and I need to submit the proposal tomorrow

Answer 1

I did my one on the variation of surface tension as a function of temperature for different liquids - the practical work is relatively straightforward and plenty of scope for talking about Hydrogen bonds in water, surface energy etc... there are some reasonable texts on this to help the paper look well informed.
Another student who got an A did one on regelation - ice melting under pressure of a weighted wire going through ice and refreezing.
Now with computers you can do some simple simulation and see if they match theory. You could cut out resistive paper into simple shapes (straight lines, corners zig-zags etc.) and measure their resistance and see if this matches simulation of an approximate matrix of resistors - if you have access to Mathlab there is a free plug-in you can use to solve approximative arrays of resistors.

Answer 2

How much force is applied per square inch of your body if it suddenly decelerates from 60mph to 0mph in .2 seconds? What kind of injuries could this cause (pictures for extra credit)? What three situations could cause this type of acceleration?

(student would need to use physics calculations for part A,

do research for part B, and

answer C being impacted by an object of X mass moving at Y velocity, a car accident from 60mph, or falling from X height onto pavement).

Answer 3

If you want a good reasearch topic, you should try string theory or some other arising quantum theory. Or just compare how Einsteins theory of quantum mechanics differs from modern day theories.

Answer 4

Milican's experiment? Very interesting (used to determine the exact mass of electrons)

Photoelectric efekt?

Franck-Hertz experiment?

Answer 5

looks like an striking thank you to destroy your GPA... once you graduate with a level in Biology, and discover you won't have the capacity to make it to scientific college, you may come across the only jobs available contain cleansing lab rat cages.

Answer 6

try quantum mechanics

Answer 7

derive e=mc2

my friend did it around the same time.

if any one can explain it to me: how do you type the exponents- not the spelling idiot
