Ten topics on which a physics teacher can deliver an interesting talk to undergraduate or postgraduate students

Ideas about physics lecture themes to teachers and students. Both undergraduate and postgraduate

Whenever  I have  thought of delivering a talk to undergraduate students I always found myself in great difficulty while deciding the topic. Most of the time it resulted in delay or cancellation of the talk.Sometimes it also happened that I chose a topic and while delivering the talk a realized that I have chosen a wrong topic or this topic was not suitable for my audience. I recently made the following list which I feel will help a physics student or teacher in making an excellent choice and thereby leading to very good lecture.

1.      Top ten experiments in Physics.

2.      Top ten experiments in Science.

3.      Top ten men in science.

4.      Top ten scientists in physics.

5.      Behavior of matter at nano level

6.      Applications of magnetism in human well being.

7.      Ten nearby destinations (science parks or cities) to learn physics or science.

8.      Top ten most valuable elements in periodic table.

9.      Ten top physicists who deserved noble but didn't have it.

10. Top ten most popular equations in physics.
