Units - Including base units, derived units and prefixes
Estimating Physics Quantities - Some common quantities you should be aware of
The Greek Alphabet - Alpha, beta and more
Wave Properties - Progressive waves that can be transverse of longitudinal
Intensity - The power transferred per unit area
Electromagnetic Waves - Oscillating electric and magnetic fields
Polarisation - Evidence for the nature of transverse waves
Refraction - The changing direction of a wave as it crosses a boundary
Total Internal Reflection - TIR as a wave travels towards a different medium
Optical Fibres - These allow the modern digital world to communicate at light speed
Interference - The interaction of two or more waves
The Double Slit - Young's famous experiment that produces an interference pattern
Diffraction Gratings - Plane transmission gratings and the pattern these produce
Standing Waves - Formed by waves of the same frequency travelling in opposite directions
The Doppler Effect - Due to relative motion between the observer and the wave emitter
Scalars and Vectors - Two different types of quantities
Speed and Velocity - How quickly an object is moving
Motion Graphs - Visualising the movement of objects
'suvat' Equations of Motion - Linear motion with a constant acceleration
Stopping Distances - For vehicles coming to a halt
Projectile Motion - Showing the independence of vertical and horizontal motion
The Monkey and Hunter - A great 'real-life' example with projectile motion
Energy - How energy can be stored and the equations for calculating it
Mechanical Power - The rate that energy is transferred or work is done
Newton's Laws - The three big laws of motion
Mass and Weight - Often confused with each other, these are two very different quantities
Free Body Diagrams - Essential for understanding the forces acting on an object
Drag and Resistance - Forces that resist motion
Terminal Velocity - When a moving object has no resultant force acting
Moments - The turning effect of a force
Density - The amount of 'stuff' in a given volume
Pressure - The force per unit area
Archimedes' Principle - For objects submerged in a fluid
Linear Momentum - The quantity of motion
Collisions - Elastic and inelastic interactions between two objects
Kinetic Energy and Momentum - Deriving the equation for these
Springs - These come up all the time in A Level Physics
Stress and Strain - These allow us to investigate material properties
Current and Charge - The movement of charged particles in a conductor
Drift Velocity - How quickly electrons move in a complete circuit
Conductors - These allow the movement of charges when a PD is applied
Circuit Symbols - Essential for drawing and understanding circuits
Voltage - The potential difference or EMF across a component
Resistance - The ratio of voltage across to the current in a component
IV Characteristics - How common components behave
LDRs and Thermistors - These are semi-conductors that change their resistance
Resistivity - A bulk material property
