Fundamentals of Physics II

This module aims to bridge the gap between O level physics and first year university physics. It covers the fundamentals of three branches of physics: electricity & magnetism, optics and modern physics. As an introductory physics module, PC1222 serves to build a firm foundation for students embarking on university level studies in Physics, Engineering and related fields. Most of the students would be tackling advanced physics concepts for the first time. The module would train students to reflect on and apply new concepts learned via demonstrations, multimedia, interactive quizzes, experiments and in-depth discussions in classrooms. Applications of physical concepts in real-life examples, everyday situations and current technology would be highlighted too. At the end of the course, it is hoped that students would gain a fundamental understanding of the physics that underlies the physical world they live in.
