Physics - Higher

The Higher Physics course covers the following:

Our Dynamic Universe: This unit explores astronomy and cosmology. Students study celestial bodies, their motion, and properties of light in space. They delve into topics like star life cycles, the structure of the universe, and the Big Bang theory.

Particles and Waves: This unit examines the dual nature of matter and light. Students learn about subatomic particles and wave-particle duality. They explore wave phenomena, including the behaviour of light and sound waves.

Electricity: This unit focuses on electricity and its applications. Students analyse electric circuits, studying concepts like voltage, current, and resistance. They investigate electrical components and their functions, including semiconductors used in electronic devices like transistors.

These units provide an engaging exploration of the universe, from celestial bodies to particles and waves, and the practical applications of electricity, including the use of semiconductors in electronic technology.
