Second Experimental Physics Olympiad

On the occasion of the International Year of Light and Light-based technologies, Sofia Branch (SB) of the Union of Physicists in Bulgaria (UPB) organizes the Day of the Photon - Experimental Physics Olympiad (EPO) for high school students. The event will take place in Sofia, 25 April 2015.

EPO is open for high school students from everywhere and in this sense is international.

This year the task will be related to the "Physics of Light". Participants must have a minimum experience of experiments with light and should have some practical skills using lenses, prisms, diffraction gratings, mirrors, foil, photodiodes, voltmeter, resistors, potentiometers, batteries etc.
In order to solve the problem, students should assemble an experimental setup, perform measurements and process experimental data.

Every student will work individually on the same experimental task.
Experimental setup will be provided by the organizers.

The registration can be made online here. Deadline for registration: April 9, 2015.
