Physics 30
Unit A: Momentum and Impulse
Students will explain how momentum is conserved when objects interact in an isolated system.
Unit B: Forces and Fields
Students will explain the behaviour of electric charges, using the laws that govern electrical interactions.
Students will describe electrical phenomena, using the electric field theory.
Students will explain how the properties of electric and magnetic fields are applied in numerous devices.
Unit C: Electromagnetic Radiation
Students will explain the nature and behaviour of EMR, using the wave model.
Students will explain the photoelectric effect, using the quantum model.
Unit D: Atomic Physics
Students will describe the electrical nature of the atom.
Students will describe the quantization of energy in atoms and nuclei.
Students will describe nuclear fission and fusion as powerful energy sources in nature.
Students will describe the ongoing development of models of the structure of matter.
