This 70% is evenly weighted amng the fur categries Knwledge and Understanding 25% f term evaluatin (17.5% f final mark); Thinking and Inquiry 25% f term evaluatin (17.5% f final mark); Cmmunicatin 25% f term evaluatin (17.5% f final mark); Applicatin 25% f term evaluatin (17.5% f final mark). The final evaluatin is 30% f the final mark. The curse culminating activity is 50% f final evaluatin (15% f final mark). The final exam is 50% f final evaluatin (15% f final mark).

28 Grade 12 University Physics SPH4U Curse descriptin frm The Ontari Curriculum, Grades 11 and 12: Science, 2008 (revised), p This curse enables students t deepen their understanding f physics cncepts and theries. Students will cntinue their explratin f energy transfrmatins and the frces that affect mtin, and will investigate electrical, gravitatinal, and magnetic fields and electrmagnetic radiatin. Students will als explre the wave nature f light, quantum mechanics, and special relativity. They will further develp their scientific investigatin skills, learning, fr example, hw t analyse, qualitatively and quantitatively, data related t a variety f physics cncepts and principles. Students will als cnsider the impact f technlgical applicatins f physics n sciety and the envirnment. Prerequisite: Physics, Grade 11, University Preparatin Big Ideas Dynamics Frces affect mtin in predictable and quantifiable ways. Frces acting n an bject will determine the mtin f that bject. Many technlgies that utilize the principles f dynamics have scietal and envirnmental implicatins. Energy and Mmentum Energy and mmentum are cnserved in all interactins. Interactins invlving the laws f cnservatin f energy and cnservatin f mmentum can be analysed mathematically. Technlgical applicatins that invlve energy and mmentum can affect sciety and the envirnment in psitive and negative ways. Gravitatinal, Electric, and Magnetic Fields Gravitatinal, electric, and magnetic frces act n matter frm a distance. Gravitatinal, electric, and magnetic fields share many similar prperties. The behaviur f matter in gravitatinal, electric, and magnetic fields can be described mathematically. Technlgical systems that invlve gravitatinal, electric, and magnetic fields can have an effect n sciety and the envirnment. The Wave Nature f Light Light has prperties that are similar t the prperties f mechanical waves.

29 The behaviur f light as a wave can be described mathematically. Technlgies that use the principles f the wave nature f light can have scietal and envirnmental implicatins. Revlutins in Mdern Physics: Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity Light can shw particle-like and wave-like behaviur, and particles can shw wavelike behaviur. The behaviur f light as a particle and the behaviur f particles as waves can be described mathematically. Curse evaluatin The term evaluatin is 70% f the final mark.
