Physics
Physics is the study of nature, conducted in order to understand how the world around us
behaves. Physics study matter and its motion, as well as space and time and explores
concepts such as force, energy, mass, and charge. The CAPE Physics Syllabus will
enable persons to be aware of the laws and theories of Physics that influence every
aspect of their physical existence and to acquire understanding and knowledge of
technological and scientific application of Physics, especially in the Caribbean context.
The CAPE Physics Syllabus is structured to ensure that students become aware of their
moral, social, and ethical responsibilities as well as the benefits intrinsic to the practical
application of scientific knowledge in careers in the field of science. The syllabus also helps
to develop an understanding of the scientific process, its usefulness and its limitations.
This syllabus is arranged into TWO Units, each made up of three Modules.
Unit 1: Mechanics, Waves, Properties of Matter
Module 1 – Mechanics
Module 2 – Oscillations and Waves
Module 3 – Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Matter
Unit 2: Electricity and Magnetism, A.C. Theory and Atomic and Nuclear Physics
Module 1 – Electricity and Magnetism
Module 2 – A. C. Theory and Electronics
Module 3 – Atomic and Nuclear Physics
