Electronics theory, greenhouse radiation, and planetary orbits comprise Grade 10 Physics in Term 3, arranging 41 instructional periods across 10 pages. Students conduct bench experiments and apply mathematical physics laws.
- Solid State Physics: examining energy bands, donor and acceptor impurities, and P-N junction diode behaviour during weeks 1 and 2.
- AC to DC Rectification: wiring single-diode half-wave circuits and four-diode bridge rectifiers to produce direct current in weeks 2 and 3.
- Atmospheric Physics: exploring infra-red greenhouse absorption, gas emission spectra, and thermal radiation balance in weeks 4 and 5.
- Space Exploration: studying Keplerian planetary trajectories, comet ellipses, and satellite communication links during weeks 6 to 8.
Academic milestones include mid-term problem papers in week 7 and physics project portfolio reviews in week 9.
