Assignment (PHY3104)

Mini Science Project

Some details:
Form a group (max 3 persons), submit the list of group
member by Monday (19th Feb 18)
Select one topic (sub-topic) from Physics II and prepare
science project and do the experiment of the topic.
Each group must prepare ONE (1) science project that
cover to the topic.
A hardcopy/softcopy of the article/video (youtube)
must be handed in by WEEK 12 (11th May 18)

Group presentation
week 13 & 14
Each group is given 15 mins for presentation, followed
by 5 mins for Q & A
Evaluation criteria
• 10% (report : 5%; presentation : 5%)
• Originality
• Resourcefulness
• Understanding of the topic
• Overall presentation of the report
Group 1 : Biasan (Refraction)

• Observe that the image

of the pencil is wider
than the actual pencil. A
ray model of light that
considers the refraction
of light at boundaries
adequately explains the
broken pencil
observations.
