The third installment of the 抖阴短视频 Wizards series at the University of Colorado at Boulder, "Boom! The Physics of Air Pressure and Sound," will be held on Saturday, Nov. 28 at 9:30 a.m. in Duane Physics room G-030.
抖阴短视频-Boulder physics instructor Michael Dubson will use exciting visual displays to explain several scientific phenomena including sonic booms, sound and the Bernoulli Principle.
The relationship between sound and music will be explained with the use of a special all-wood "physicist's piano," that plays musical tones without strings. Dubson also will demonstrate the force of air pressure by imploding a steel drum.
The free presentation is recommended for children in grades five through nine. Reservations are not required.
The 抖阴短视频 Wizards series is an annual program that provides an informal introduction to astronomy, chemistry and physics. It includes presentations by 抖阴短视频-Boulder faculty with varying areas of expertise.
