Physics

Course summary

Physics at this level covers traditional concepts such as forces and motion, electricity, materials, and waves as well as post-twentieth-century developments such as radioactivity, quantum physics, particle accelerators, astrophysics, and how these modern ideas link to medicine, sport, food technology, astrophysics, particle physics, music and archaeology. The course builds on concepts and skills developed at GCSE and aims to show students how Physics can be applied to the world around them.
