SPH 4U - Gr 12 Physics (University) Spring 2009

Page history last edited by Peter Kim 5 mos ago

The Grade 12 Physics course is a follow-up to the Grade 11 University Physics course (SPH 3U). Topics covered include forces in dynamics; momentum & energy; fields; wave nature of light; and modern physics. This course prepares students for further studies in physical sciences, kinesiology, biomechanics, or engineering to name a few.

 

See the course outline for SPH 4U Outline

 

Textbook:     Nelson Physics 12

 

Prerequisite: SPH 3U
