(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

In your driven-damped harmonic oscillator model, what assumptions are you making about the droplet’s motion and damping mechanisms? Could non-linearities or air currents break the harmonic approximation?
In what sense can a classical scattering system serve as a pedagogical tool for quantum mechanical concepts like energy quantization or resonance tunneling? What are the limitations of this analogy?
In your Millikan experiment replication, you claim to observe single-electron changes visually. How did you calibrate the optical forces to confirm these were indeed quantized charges, and what is your error margin?
Walk me through the balance of forces in your vertical optical trap. How does gravity compete with radiation pressure and the gradient force, and how do you ensure stable trapping in air?
If you had unlimited resources and lab time, what experiment would you do next with optical levitation? What question remains unanswered that keeps you up at night?
Your work on looser focusing contradicts the intuitive idea that tighter focusing gives more acceleration. Can you explain the physical mechanism behind this "unforeseen advantage"?

How does the optical aberration of your system affect the accuracy of force calibration in your trap, and how did you correct or account for it in your data analysis?
Several of your experiments straddle the boundary between classical and quantum mechanics. Where do you draw that line, and how might optical levitation help us explore this transition further?
You propose your setup as a tool for physics education. From a curriculum design perspective, how would you integrate this experiment into a course, and what learning outcomes would you expect?
Your thesis demonstrates a wide variety of applications using optical levitation. Do you see this as a generalist’s toolkit, or are there fundamental limits beyond which the technique is no longer useful?"
You describe a Fano comb structure in directional Mie scattering. What is the physical origin of the interference responsible for the asymmetric line shapes, and how does this relate to the internal structure of the droplet?
How does your work differentiate from existing literature in optical trapping and Fano resonance analysis? What is the true novelty in your contribution?
Could the Fano combs you observe in water droplets be extended to solid spheres, or non-spherical particles? How would the symmetry and refractive index contrast influence the spectrum?
You observe a turnover in the evaporation rate under strong irradiative heating. How do you distinguish between thermal effects from laser absorption and convective or radiative heat losses in air?
Optical tweezers are being used to trap atoms and nanoparticles for quantum computing and sensing. How do your methods scale down (or up) to those domains?
