12.5 Prof. G. I. Opat Physics and two mathematics subjects, at the level of the final year of secondary school. It will be assumed that students are familiar with the content of Physics 640-121. Semester 2 39 lectures (three a week), 13 x 1-hour tutorials and 39 hours practical work (three hours a week) By the completion of this course the student should:

• comprehend a broad range of elementary physics sufficient to lay a basis for advanced higher year studies;
• have developed skills in applying verbal and mathematical reasoning to the understanding of elementary physical systems and in acquiring and evaluating experimental data;
• appreciate the power and depth of physical theory in a wide range of science and technology.

Electromagnetism: electrostatics; circuits; magnetism; electric and magnetic properties of matter; Maxwell's equations; electromagnetic waves. Quantum Theory: historical foundations; wave and particle properties of electrons and photons. Atomic and Nuclear Physics: atomic and nuclear structure; X-rays, radioactivity, and nuclear radiations; fission and fusion; nuclear power. A 3-hour written examination at the end of the semester and written tests and/or assignments during the semester (75 per cent); laboratory work (25 per cent). Students must complete both laboratory and assignment work satisfactorily to obtain a pass.
