Module 1 - Classical Mechanics and Wave Phenomena

Explore the foundational principles of classical mechanics, including forces, motion, and energy, and how these laws apply to real-world scenarios like pendulums and roller coasters. Dive into wave phenomena to understand how energy and matter propagate through space. This combined module covers sound waves, light waves, and the wave-particle duality, bridging the gap between classical physics and modern concepts.

Uncover the principles behind electricity and magnetism, key drivers of technological revolutions. Study how electrical circuits work, explore components like resistors and capacitors, and understand their applications in everyday devices and advanced technologies.

Discover the fascinating world of light through the study of optics, including reflection, refraction, and diffraction, with practical applications in lenses and lasers. Complement this with an exploration of thermodynamics, examining states of matter —solid, liquid, and gas — and the fundamental principles governing energy transfer and heat flow in the universe.

Journey into the quantum world, where the paradoxes of wave-particle duality reshaped physics with the advent of quantum mechanics. Explore atoms, nuclei, and elementary particles to uncover the fundamental building blocks of the universe. This module introduces cutting-edge theories that explain the mysteries of the microscopic world and their profound impact on modern science.
