The International Physics Olympiad is an annual competition for high school students from around the world. It tests their knowledge and problem-solving skills in various areas of physics.
To participate in the IPhO, you must first qualify through your national physics olympiad. Each participating country has its own selection process, so you should check with your national olympiad committee for more information.
The IPhO is open to students who are under the age of 20 and have not yet enrolled in university or college. Most participants are high school students between the ages of 15 and 19.
The IPhO typically includes theoretical and experimental problems covering a wide range of concepts in physics, such as mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and optics. The problems are designed to be challenging and require creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
Winners of the IPhO are determined based on their individual scores in the theoretical and experimental exams. The top scoring students are awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals, and the countries with the highest total scores also receive team awards.
