Physics

Course summary

OCR A physics is an exciting course, which covers a wide range of physics topics, linking to a number of possible applications in the future. In the first year we cover electronic sensors, mechanics, waves and quantum behaviour. In the second year we build on the knowledge already gained and study radioactivity, cosmology and space, gas theory, medical physics, electromagnetic induction, electric fields and particle physics. The course covers all the key concepts in physics and introduces relatively new concepts, into which research is still ongoing.
