... Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Hello!I'm writing my extended essay in Physics on holograms and holographic projection. I'm stuck on how to write my research question, and I was wondering does anyone have any ideas? Any ideas on what specific regions I should focus on? What I have so far is:What is the physics behind holographic projections and how can they be applied to the modern world?I need expermental data, so how could I incorporate that into my EE?Thanks.

danipilot Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hey, well, the first thing you have to look at is if you want to do a theoretical or experimental essay. I believe that in order to do a theoretical essay, you need to look at something that is beyond the HL syllabus, which holograms is. I would check the EE guide book for physics, but I believe that either theoretical or experimental essays should have more or less the same format as one of your IA's, such as To what extent X depend on Y if Z is constant. Good luck! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
by.andrew Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Eek, your RQ right now is severely lacking. Like the other poster suggested, I would suggest you to look at the EE guide for physics or the 50 excellent EE book so you can get a grasp of how to score well in a physics EE. Personally, I would suggest an EE that involves an experiment because students are often more familiar with writing science EEs that involve an experiment (it's the path of least resistance, but if you're quite familiar and set on doing a theoretical EE, go right ahead).

... Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hello again, I know it's been a while. I was hoping to do a theoretical ee which i hear is very challenging. I'm struggling with the hologram at the moment, either I can create a glass/reflective hologram like Holho triangular pyramid of glass with a software that converts regular videos into ones specially designed by four dimensions to form a holographic reflection in the pyramid of glass. Problem with that is that I lack an experimental aspect. Should I continue to do more research and attempt a transmission hologram with beam splitters, etc. because I don't think I would have time or even knowledge for that. Since my RQ is mostly based on what one can do with a holographic projection display system, I was hoping to be able to do the first hologram, find an experimental aspect and then extrapolate that using the idea of the second hologram to create an essay about the possible uses. Is this possible, how so? Would polarizers and analyzers and LCDs fit here as well? I think they will with the second hologram and it's beneficial because it ties it to the syllabus.I was also considering changing my topic to the Monte Carlo method/simulation. It sort of analyzes the what if scenarios and I was thinking of maybe creating one with C++. I'm not that great at C++ but I think I might be able to create a basic decent enough project with it. How could I tie that in with Physics and I doubt it's in the syllabus. Is there any way of maybe using that, changing it to be more experimental, and then analyzing what if scenarios involving physics topics like perhaps string theory or circuits or anything in the syllabus?
