My distinguished wall by DMK https://padlet.com/dongmin_kim/ycz7xceydgs8 Made with the strength to succeed en-us 2017-11-09 17:18:28 UTC 2017-11-15 03:30:24 UTC hello@padlet.com dongmin_kim https://padlet.com/dongmin_kim/ycz7xceydgs8/wish/205390675 1.     What subject are you interested in and why?
 I am interested in physics, for now... I find physics interesting and I think it relates closely to our everyday lives.
2.     What specific topic are you interested and why?
 I am interested in waves and oscillations, specifically sound waves. I never really understood or grasped the idea of sound— it is so abstract yet significant to us. To be more specific, I want to investigate sound of stringed instruments. I myself play the violin and I wish to know the physics part of it.
3.     Provide details for subtopics: How? Why? Where? When?
 There really are a variety of paths I can take in the broad topic of sound in stringed instruments. It’s hard to decide… maybe how do thickness or lengths of strings have an effect on the frequency/wavelengths of the sound they produce? Or maybe something related to harmonics and sound waves? I would need more research for that. 
 
4.     How will you collect primary research? What methodology are you considering?
Before primary research, I would definitely need to find secondary sources, mainly scholarly articles, journals that are published that help me first understand the topic. My primary research can be done in the lab, using equipment that detect the sound waves of the stringed instruments.
 
5. What is your initial research question are you beginning with?
Wow..

As you said, there are a variety of paths that you can take, so you need to figure out which one to take. This also could help you think of an initial research question. Maybe some further research into the different subtopics of sound waves can help you with this. ]]> 2017-11-14 00:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dongmin_kim/ycz7xceydgs8/wish/206533641 Davy's Comment unpairedelectron01 https://padlet.com/dongmin_kim/ycz7xceydgs8/wish/206535351 Hey Ding-mon, I think that your EE topic is a very interesting one, being able to bridge the gap between music and science. I would encourage you to think about your topic some more, and maybe consider the specifics of the subject as well. Youtube is a great resource and has many interesting and intriguing videos about the physics of music and vibrations. Lastly, it might be a good idea to think about what equipment you will use to measure the waves. Will it be a simple frequency spectrum analyzer or will it be a more elaborate oscilloscope setup. ]]> 2017-11-14 00:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dongmin_kim/ycz7xceydgs8/wish/206535351 Jordan's Comment jordan_blumberg https://padlet.com/dongmin_kim/ycz7xceydgs8/wish/207040996 I think your idea is good and that you are looking at the correct topics for this research question. However, there has already been a lot of research done on strings and how it affects there frequency - that's why guitars and violins sound the way they do. I think you need to find a more unique experiment, or alter your variables in order to research something that is 'new' or less certain. ]]> 2017-11-15 03:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dongmin_kim/ycz7xceydgs8/wish/207040996
