SPH4U

This course enables students to deepen their understanding of physics concepts andtheories. Students will continue their exploration of energy transformations and the forcesthat affect motion, and will investigate electrical, gravitational, and magnetic fields andelectromagnetic radiation. Students will also explore the wave nature of light, quantummechanics, and special relativity. They will further develop their scientific investigationskills, learning, for example, how to analyse, qualitatively and quantitatively, data relatedto a variety of physics concepts and principles. Students will also consider the impact oftechnological applications of physics on society and the environment.
