kaus123 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hey everyone,Im in SL Physics and one of the options I'll definitely be doing for tomorrow's paper is Astrophysics.But what else should I choose to study? Sight and Wave Phenomena or Quantum, because our teacher rushed through both just in case. Looking at the syllabus, I'm inclined to do Quantum because I like Atomic and Nuclear much more than SHM, but what are your thoughts? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slovakov Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I don't like waves either, and therefore if I were you, I'd take quantum. I really enjoyed this topic, and it is moreover relatively easy... maybe except for Heisenberg and his uncertainty theory. What I like in wave phenomena is that it's shorter, but I really don't like all those wave-things. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classof2013 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wave phenomina is the easiest of all the SL options, in my opinion. but why are you choosing to learn it all the night before? EEEEEK! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrastination Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'd do Quantum, even though it is larger, it is definetely more interesting. Well, I'm not really interested in waves and all of their properties, plus... I hate with my life lenses and image formation, so yeah, if you choose wave phenomena good luck with that. Now, Quantum is really funny and interesant, you learn a lot about nuclear physics, anyways this statement is very personal since I've been interested in atoms and subparticles since long time ago. . I love the Schrodinger model and his hypothetical situation with cats and radiactive decay is pretty interesant too. I agree with Slovakov about the Heisenburg uncertainty principle, that's serious stuff. In the other hand if you're looking for the easier thing and need to learn things fast, do wave and sight phenomena, it is easier (And I love the Doppler Effect in this option) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm forced to take Wave Phenomena! It sucks! Even i haven't done the option yet, it just seems pretty dull.. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PoisonousPumpkin Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm doing relativity and wave sight phenomena and let me tell you, the last one sucks! It is not interesting, I agree with Procrastination when he says the Doppler Effect is pretty cool. But hey, that doesn't even compare with the fun you could be having with Quantum.

Procrastination Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 But DIFFICULT as hell. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigel Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 But DIFFICULT as hell. Not really.. It's confusing, but beautiful... Astrophysics is another option I would've taken.. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cranberries Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I agree with Procrastination, it is quite difficult, but as iPos said, beautiful. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
