SPH4U – Unit 5 Culminating Task

Research Assignment: Quantum Mechanics & Special Relativity ( 60 marks total)

Knowledge & Understanding / 15 Thinking & Investigation / 25 Application / 25

Introduction: In this unit you learned about some of the fundamental theories, concepts

and experiments that led to our current understanding of how matter, time, space and

the universe act. In this culminating assignment you will use the knowledge you gained

in this unit as well as your own researching skills to further your understanding and to

learn about how modern technologies apply relativity and quantum mechanics in the

real world.

Description: Your task for this assignment is to conduct your own research on the topics

listed below, related to modern physics. Once you have compiled all the information

you need, you will have to organize your information into both a research report and a

Powerpoint presentation. Your Powerpoint presentation should be a condensed version

of your research report. Your research report and presentation should both include

images and text organized in a logical manner that is visually pleasing. You may

organize the report and presentation in any order that you see fit, as long as you clearly

address the specific topics listed below.

Overview:

Your final product for this assignment will comprise 2 different pieces (plus references)

1. Research report. Written report summarizing your findings, with images.

2. Powerpoint presentation. Presentation summarizes your research report,

information is organized and presented in a visually appealing manner.

Note: You must cite all references that you used for your presentation. DO NOT COPY

AND PASTE YOUR INFORMATION. YOU MUST CONDUCT THE RESEARCH AND

COMPILE THE INFORMATION IN YOUR REPORT USING YOUR OWN WORDS AND

UNDERSTANDING.

The rubric on the last page of this assignment outlines the expectations for this project.

Section 1: The Theory of Special Relativity: 25 marks total (Application)

[ 20 marks for research report, 5 marks for Powerpoint]

Instructions :

1. Describe evidence that supports the Theory of Special Relativity .

Choose at least one of the following pieces of evidence, describe the underlying

principle and how the evidence supports the theory:

half-lives of elementary particles.

relativistic momentum in accelerators.

conversion of matter into energy in a nuclear power plant.

Section 2: Elementary Particles: 15 marks total (Knowledge & Understanding)

[ 10 marks for research report, 5 marks for Powerpoint]

Instructions

2. Describe the characteristic of quarks, hadrons and field particles.

The theory of relativity and the development of quantum mechanics helped

scientists develop their understanding of particles and how they behave and are

constructed. From your own research, summarize the standard model of elementary

particles by describing the characteristics of quarks, hadrons and field particles.

Section 3: Technology and Modern Physics: 25 marks total (Thinking & Investigation):

[ 20 marks for research report, 5 marks for Powerpoint]

Instructions

3. Select two technologies that relate to relativity or quantum mechanics and

describe:

the structure and function of each device

how knowledge of modern physics is used in the technology.

Examples of technologies you can research include (but you are not limited to):

Nuclear power

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

Quantum computing

Global Positioning Systems (GPS)

Smoke detectors

Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT)
