British Physics Olympiad: AS Physics Challenge 2019

The AS Physics Challenge is one of the British Physics Olympiad competitions run by Oxford University. It consists of a very demanding one-hour paper comprising questions that stretch lateral thinking skills and require candidates to apply fundamental physical principles to novel situations.

This year four students took part, three of them members of the Physics Extension Class. The group photograph shows the students with their certificates, presented by the Principal, Dr. Drew (left to right):
