MUB Expo
The expo was held in the
ballrooms of the
Memorial Union Building.
Once again, the Expo was extremely well attended by a record number of participants. |
 |
Physics Booth
The Physics booth was very popular. A number of exhibits attracted visitors,
and several people from the Physics Department were on hand to answer questions
about the Physics program and the physics demonstrations. In the afternoon, tours
were given of the Physics Department and labs, including CONCAM, nanotechnology,
and waveguide optics. |
 |
Van de Graaff
The Van de Graaff generator is a fascinating demonstration involving static electricity.
Demonstrations were given by Physics undergraduate Patrick Marshall and Physics
Instructor Jerry Hester.
The generator was used to power a spinning bottle, levitate human hair, and send
pie
pans
flying. View a QuickTime movie of gap
sparking with the generator (1.4 Mb). |

Physics Program
Department Chair Ravi Pandey and Assistant Professor Will Cantrell talked to
prospective
students
about
opportunities
and careers in Physics. A sign-up sheet was available for the Physics Department
newsletter, Event Horizon. Looping animations were displayed on the laptop, and
a little pig "hologram" stole the show. |

Electron Beam
Physics undergraduate Dan Cordell demonstrates the deflection of an electron
beam by an external magnet. View a QuickTime
movie of this effect (1.9 Mb). |
