Physics

This term’s Physics curriculum begins with an in-depth study of waves, covering their production, propagation, types, and mathematical representation. Students learn about progressive wave motion and key properties of waves, laying a foundation for understanding both light and sound waves. Weeks 4 through 6 focus on light waves and their behavior, followed by sound waves and their characteristics. The curriculum also includes the study of the human eye, helping students connect physical wave principles with biological applications.

In the latter part of the term, the curriculum explores practical applications of wave theory. This includes how sound waves are applied in technology and medicine, as well as a detailed look at the molecular theory of matter. The term concludes with the application of lenses and plane mirrors, reinforcing concepts of light and optics through real-life scenarios. This structure ensures students not only understand the theoretical aspects of wave physics but also appreciate their practical significance in daily life and scientific fields.
