Physics II Course Overview

Physics II is an intensive one-week program designed for motivated students who have completed Physics I or have a strong foundation in mechanics, and are preparing for advanced Year 11 and 12 Physics. It offers a comprehensive and logically structured overview of the non-mechanical components of senior Physics across NSW, ACT, and IB curricula, exploring the fundamental forces and phenomena that shape our universe from the quantum to the cosmic scale.

From the statistical nature of heat to the quantum behaviour of light, from Einstein's relativity to the fundamental particles that constitute matter, students will develop an appreciation for physics as a coherent and beautiful description of reality. The course emphasises how modern physics emerged from classical foundations, showing students the historical development of ideas whilst building intuitive understanding of concepts that often seem counterintuitive.

Every student will receive a Wise Minds bespoke course book containing clear explanations, worked examples, real-world applications, and structured exercises. By the end of the course, students will have not only mastered advanced physics content, but gained appreciation for the elegance and power of modern physical theories.
