PH1007 - Advanced Stream Physics 2

This calculus-based subject is an introduction to special topics in Physics. The special topics in any given year may include: thermodynamics, special relativity, and nuclear and particle physics. There is also a laboratory component which introduces electric circuits, physical optics, and laboratory projects.

Learning Outcomes

• recognize information, concepts, and principles of fundamental electric circuits and modern physics, including the correct use of terminology and definitions;
• select, identify, and use the appropriate data and physics principles to complete a problem or task, including the manipulation of mathematical entities to solve problems in modern physics and electric circuits;
• assess experimental data using specific standards and criteria, including identifying, describing and justifying the best approach to solving an experimental problem;
• communicate experimental/observational data using a logbook, and compose a final report under the direction of a style manual.
