Physics Higher

The current unit being taught in Higher Physics is called 'Particles and Waves'.

  • Wave-particle duality

  • Refraction and Interference

  • Spectra

Completing your work:

All classwork will be set on Microsoft Teams. Your teacher will upload resources onto the 'files' section and this will include pupil notes, problems (and solutions), homework exercises and PowerPoint's to articulate with the pupil notes.

Most of the work that is to be completed will be written work and this should be completed in jotters or on paper and answers checked regularly - if you have an issue with any of the questions set, then contact your class teacher for help and guidance. We will issue you all a full set of notes in August.
