    Advanced higher physics
    Can anyone suggest any good practical investigations to do for your advance higher practical investigation. I would preferre something electronics/electrical based as thats what i enjoy/am good at.

    (electronics mostly - failing that some good investigations into things which maxwells equations covers could be "interesting" )

    Cheers in advance

    I personally invented a time machine and traveled to the Big Bang to investigate that then forwards again to a certain time at which I could prove some famous guy's theories about time travel wrong.

    Im gonna do something with measuring youngs modulus and factors affecting the properties of metals I think, but not sure.

    You can think up something yourself and do really anything.

    Re: Advanced higher physics
    I've thought up doing an investigation regarding deflection of two colliding masses, but i don't know if my idea will be good enough to be able to construct the experiment, Also i don't even know if it's a legitimate aspect of adv physics to apply a report and experiments on. Any help will be appreciated. Either the deflection idea or another one I have.

    The second idea is to do with semi conductors really, my idea is to investigate what effect will two beams of light have upon it once they interfere at a focal point, seems a stupid idea again and I don't even know if this is legitimate again. Im just thinking of ideas at the moment. Thanks for any advice.
