Secondary 2 Physics

  • Type

    Ongoing course

  • Duration

    10 classes (120 mins / class)

  • Size

    8 students / class

THIS COURSE WILL COVER:
1. Model: Light
  • ray model of light, ray diagrams
  • properties of light: light and shadows (eclipses), smooth / rough / coloured surfaces
  • reflection, refraction, total internal reflection
  • effects and uses of plane / curved reflecting surfaces
  • mixture / components of white light, dispersion, prisms, colour vision
  • lenses, eyes
2. Interactions: Electromagnetic waves and sound
  • transverse and longitudinal waves
  • vibrating source, particles of medium interact, energy transfer
  • loudness and wave amplitude; pitch and frequency
  • sound (speech, music, ultrasound) vs noise
3. Models: Particulate nature of matter
  • explain kinetic model => random constant motion of small discrete particles
  • explain solid, liquid, gas by particles arrangement and movement
  • explain physical properties (e.g. volume, shape, density, compressibility)
  • explain state transitions, expansion, contraction, conservation of mass
4. Interactions: Heat energy and its transmission
  • contraction and expansion: explain with heat transfer, effect on volume and density, explain daily applications
  • conduction, convection and radiation; explain daily uses (e.g. vacuum flask, double-glazed windows, solar heaters)
  • different rate of heat flow by different materials
  • effect of nature of surface and temp gradient on radiation
  • global warming and climate change
5. Systems: DC electricity
  • current, potential difference and resistance: definition, formula and SI units
  • circuit diagrams and components
  • series and parallel arrangement of resistors and batteries
  • chemical, heating and magnetic effects of electricity
  • Power, calculations, SI unit, kWh costing of electricity use
  • Practical use of electricity, hazards and precautions

What is Pro-Rated Pricing?

Pro-rated pricing is available for ongoing courses. The price is calculated based on the number of available upcoming classes.

For example, an ongoing course may comprise of 8 classes, however 2 classes were held beforehand, and 6 are upcoming classes that are available to purchase. You will not be charged for the previous 2 classes, only the 6 upcoming classes.

The current number of classes available for purchase depend on the upcoming dates listed in the course schedule.
