POPTOR Invitational 2005 Weekend Training & Selection Camp

Here are pictures from the 2005 weekend: Saturday tutorials, tour around Department of Physics, training session, and experiments. (Click here to return to main POPTOR page.)

At this year's Weekend, for the first time an experimental training session preceded the Competition. During the session, students studied working with different equipment, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, and signal generator.

People were so overexcited during the Saturday night POPquiz, no one remembered to take any pictures. Here, however, is a couple of the easier questions from various categories to give you a flavour. Click on each question to get the answer.

• Thermal:  The rate of change of internal energy with temperature.
• Element Riddles:  "We're out of foss," they said. "Please go to the store and get some ...."
• Numbers:  These famous mathematical constants are both 3 when rounded off to 1 significant figure.
• Jokes:   What is the difference between chemistry, biology and physics?
