Student reflection
The Year 12 physics class was privileged to make a visit to the Australian synchrotron for a tour guided by a researcher from a Swinburne university. We got to partake in a practical experiment which demonstrated the wave nature of light due to double slit and single slit interference patterns. This was a great opportunity to use specialised instruments and equipment to put the theory we learnt to practice.
The tour around the complex and hearing the uses of the electron beam line inspired me, and I assume others, to consider research as a potential path in the future.
