Higher Physics

This course comprises four units. The first unit covers motion (equations and graphs), forces, energy and power, collisions, explosions and impulse, gravitation, gravity and mass, special relativity, the expanding and expansion of the universe, Hubble’s law and the Big Bang theory. The second unit covers the standard model, forces on charge particles, nuclear reactions, wave particle duality, diffraction and interference, spectra and refraction of light. The third unit covers monitoring and measuring a.c., current, potential difference, power and resistance, electrical sources and internal resistance, capacitors, conductors, semiconductors insulators and p-n junctions. The fourth unit covers web-based research, planning and carrying out an investigation, processing and analysing results, evaluating and drawing conclusions and scientific communication.
