In this section, you will find all the information you need to help you get up to speed with physics.
Physics plays an integral role in Materials Science and Engineering, so it is useful to keep some of the key topics from the A Level syllabus fresh in your mind. You will come across subjects like Measurements and their errors, Mechanics and materials, and Further mechanics and thermal physics at different times in your course.
You will need to know about the following:
The atom
Electron shells
Fundmental particles
Atomic and mass numbers
Isotopes
Electron shells
Fundamental particles
Photons
Line spectra
The photoelectric effect
Wave-particle duality
Electron diffraction
Interference
Single slit diffraction
Double slit defraction
Diffraction gratings
Types of wave
Wave characteristics
Waves in and out of phase
Longitudinal vs transverse waves
Superposition
Stationary waves
