Physics Paradox was successfully conducted by the students of Second Year B.Sc. Physics for the first-year and third-year students on 12th January at A2 Room. The programme was organized with the objective of enhancing interest in physics, encouraging active participation among students, and promoting learning beyond textbooks.
The programme commenced with a warm welcome to the respected Head of the Department and the faculty member. The teachers were welcomed with flowers as a mark of respect, and their presence added great value and motivation to the event. The forum began on a positive note with a prayer, creating a calm and focused atmosphere.
This was followed by an informative presentation on the topic of Dark Matter, highlighting its significance, properties, and role in understanding the structure of the universe. The presentation helped in strengthening conceptual understanding and was well received by the audience.
Students effectively demonstrated Archimedes’ principle and explained the concept of buoyant force through a simple experimental setup.
The forum also included a several physics competition, which was conducted in three rounds. Before starting the competition, students from the first year and third year were asked to divide themselves into seven groups. The first round consisted of jumbled words, testing the participants’ familiarity with physics terminology. The second round was a rapid-fire round, which assessed quick thinking and conceptual clarity. The third round involved a scientist puzzle, where a picture of a scientist was cut into small pieces and participants were required to assemble it correctly. After assembling the picture, the teams were asked to identify the scientist and mention his famous contribution to physics. The session was highly interactive and encouraged enthusiastic participation from students. The team that completed the puzzle first and correctly identified the scientist along with his contribution was declared the winner of the competition, and Team 4 emerged as the winner. The winners were congratulated and awarded prizes.
The programme concluded with a vote of thanks, expressing sincere gratitude to the respected faculty members for their guidance and support. Appreciation was also extended to all the volunteers whose efforts and cooperation contributed to the successful organization of the forum. The forum was successful in achieving its objectives and created an enjoyable and academically enriching experience for everyone present.
All the participants were wished all the best and encouraged to continue enjoying the learning of physics.
