Second year of A LEVEL Further mechanics and thermal physics, including periodic motion, thermal energy transfer, molecular kinetic theory model. Fields, including Newton’s law of gravitation, orbits of planets and satellites, magnetic flux density. Nuclear physics, including evidence for the nucleus, radioactive decay, nuclear instability. There will also be an optional module, which is likely to be Astrophysics, including classification of stars by luminosity, Doppler effect and detection of exoplanets.Physics A level is a requirement for any Physics based course such as Physics, Astrophysics, Material Science or Medical Physics. There are also many career paths that stem from the study of Physics, including Engineering, Forensics, Robotics and Music Technology. Note that most Physics degree courses require Maths A level as well as Physics.
