Junior Session of the Physics Society of Japan
2023年5月17日 16時44分 On Saturday, March 18, Junior Session of the Physics Society of Japan was held online, and six research teams from our school’s physics course participated. The competing teams were selected to represent their school after having their research papers, which were due last December, read by the judges our six teams were the most from any one school in the whole country. The session consisted of 10 minutes presentation, 5 minutes Questions and Answers, and 20 minutes free discussion. The for each team Q＆A sessions were full of very advanced and sharp questions from so many physics professors gathered in just one place. The competing students looked nervous, but they seemed to do their best to answer the questions. The research topics of the competing teams were as follows:
・Research on causes of splattering of contents when opening seasoning sachets
・Wind power generation using a flywheel with variable moment of inertia
・Research on wind power generation of rotating objects using
・Why is the sound amplitude different whether a container filled with water is tapped or shaken?
・Conditions and principles of the generation of the kay effect ~Focusing on the type of fluid and the plane in which shampoo falls~
・Conditions for the occurrence of the glare phenomenon: Focusing on optical factors ■
Impression
I think I was able to increase my motivation for research through discussions with students from other schools with whom I would not normally have the opportunity to interact. I would like to make the most of the opinions we gained from these discussions in the future.
