Elementary treatment of circular orbits under gravity including orbital speed, centripetal acceleration, period, radius, and gravitational centripetal force. Phases of the moon and eclipses. Structure of the solar system. Nuclear fission. Natural world: atomic and nuclear structure; properties of alpha, beta and gamma radiation; half lives. Current as a flow of electrons; thermionic emission and energy of accelerated electron beams. Links between electricity and magnetism; electromagnets, motors, generators and transformers. Elementary electrostatic forces and magnetism. Elementary circuits including batteries, capacitors, diodes, filament lamps, resistors, wires, light dependent resistors and thermistors; series and parallel circuits. Electricity and magnetism: current, charge, voltage (potential difference), resistance; relationships between them and links to energy and power. Elementary understanding of interference and diffraction. Refraction and elementary properties of prisms and lenses including total internal reflection (mathematical treatment not required). Reflection at plane mirrors. Basic properties of the electromagnetic spectrum. Waves and optics: longitudinal and transverse waves; amplitude, wavelength and speed, period, frequency, and the relationships between them. Springs and Hooke’s law. Kinetic and potential energy and their inter-conversion; other forms of energy; conservation of energy; power and work. Levers, pulleys and other elementary machines.
