Physics (Physical Science Stream)

Foundation Physics aims to provide a range of knowledge and skills required for further study in Science and Engineering. On successful completion of this subject a student will have a knowledge of the language, formulae and basic idea of physics:
-Be able to explain the physical phenomena observed or studied using established laws, principles andconcepts be able to apply laws, principles and concepts to the solution of physical problems.
-Be able to perform a range of physical calculations.
-Be able to perform a range of simple manipulative and measurement skills associated with physics labs

Topics: Classical mechanics: motion, vectors, Newton’s laws, universal gravitation, momentum, work, energy, power, conservation laws, motion of rigid bodies, statics, rotational motion. Wave motion and Optics: nature of waves, sound, light, geometrical optics, image formation, optical instruments, interference, diffraction, polarisation. Electricity and Magnetism: electrostatics, direct currents, Ohm’s law and electric circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic waves. Radioactivity, fission and fusion reactions, mass-energy equivalence mathematics before commencing Foundation Physics. As vector mathematics is a core skill that is further developed in this subject, prior knowledge of trigonometry is essential.
