What we will learn?
Physics aims to understand the behaviour of matter from the scale of subatomic particles to that of the Universe. In this course students investigate the “how” and “why” of the world around them. Topics covered include motion, forces, electricity, waves, light, sound, and nuclear physics. Practical work is an important part of the course.
The study of Physics is required for degrees in Engineering and all of the exact Sciences because Physics is the framework on which all the other sciences are built. Since Mathematics is the “language of Physics” it is recommended students taking Physics do take Mathematics at their year level as well.
