Modern Physics

This lesson covers the fundamental concepts of modern physics, including special relativity, quantum mechanicsThe theory used to describe the behaviour of very small particles (atomic and subatomic level). Unlike classical physics which is deterministic, quantum mechanics is a probabilistic theory., atomic and nuclear physics, and particle physics. Students will learn about the theory of special relativity and how it revolutionized our understanding of space and time. They will also learn about quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic level. The lesson will also cover atomic and nuclear physics, including the structureThe organisation and order of information in a text. of atoms and the properties of the nucleusA membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells that contains DNA.. Additionally, you will learn about particle physics, including the standard model of particle physics, which describes the behavior of particles that make up the universe.
