This cannot be done without significantly raising the level of teaching physics, with an emphasis on the individual and special efforts to detect and nurture budding talents. In this respect, physics olympiads for students at secondary school and vocational training colleges are impor tant in bringing to light the brightest stu dents and in correctly guiding them in their choice of profession. This book, which is a collection of phys ics aptitude test problems, draws on the experience of the physics olympiads con ducted during the last fifteen years among the schoolchildren of Moscow. A Moscow physics olympiad includes three preliminary theoretical rounds at the regional, city, and qualifying levels, followed by a final practical round. After the final round, a team of Moscow schoolchildren is selected for participation in the all-Union olympiad. The complexity of the problems set for each round increases gradually, starting from the simplest problems at regional lev el, problems which can be solved simply by having a thorough knowledge of the bas ic laws and concepts of physics. The prob lems at the qualifying stage are much more complicated. Some of the problems at this level involve a certain amount of research
