In the Year 11 Physics course, your knowledge of waves and energy transfers is expanded through Module 3. Firstly, this course aims to further deepen your understanding of the properties of waves and how these can be examined in an experimental setting. It will focus on two important concepts from the syllabus, refraction and superposition. Furthermore, you will have an opportunity to quantify energy transfers through investigating the specific heat capacity of water and the rate of energy transfer (power). Mastery of both of these areas of physics will be invaluable when conquering the HSC course next year. You will be exposed to experimental techniques that are not readily available in a high school environment and that will introduce you to a tertiary style of learning.

There will be a 2-hour practical lab session with a 45-minute break, followed by a 2-hour theory session.
