PHYSICS SOCIETY

The QUT Physics Society is a student run club and is supported by the Science and Physics Faculty. With the title of ‘Physics Society’ our club can seem daunting, but we have tried to create an environment where anyone and everyone interested in the sciences can quench their curiosities through the outlets of events and activities we have available for members.

In the coming semester we plan to continue having more events for our members, these include Astronomy nights, Trivia night, Jenga Night, Documentary Screenings and Coffee with the physicists where members can come along for a chat and have a coffee on us. We are also super enthusiastic about using our new Hydrogen Alpha Solar telescopes on the lawns around QUT.

Simply put, this telescope allows us to safely look at the sun in high detail, so we can appreciate all its fiery glory without burning our eyes out. Not so simply put, this is a telescope with a built in Hydrogen Alpha Solar filter with a 0.5 angstrom bandpass. Meaning out of all of the electromagnetic wavelengths that the Sun produces, only 0.5 angstrom (0.05 Nanometres) of light is able to pass-through; allowing us to safely view the sun.

Since we have a lot of events planned this semester, check out our Facebook page or our Orgsync website for all events and related information. Everyone is welcome to join at any time by simply signing up for a membership at any of our events.
