In the first year we will study nuclear and particle physics, Quantum Theory and current electricity. Newton’s Laws of Motion, the energy conservation laws, properties of materials and waves will also be studied. The main themes of the second year work are advanced studies in mechanics such as conservation of momentum, Simple Harmonic Motion and Field Theory. We will also study radioactivity, and thermal physics. The option covered in this unit is “Turning points in physics”. Skills developed in both years include the selection and uses of various pieces of equipment, processing of data, making observations and measurements, analyzing and evaluation of results.
