What topics are in WACE Physics Units 3 & 4?
Unit 3 covers Gravity and Electromagnetism (combined as one unit). Unit 4 is "Revolutions in modern physics" and covers special relativity, quantum theory, and the standard model of particle physics. Both units are assessed in the WACE external exam.
How should I revise for the WACE Physics exam?
Use flashcards to memorise key equations, units, and constants. Practise calculations under timed conditions. Focus on understanding when and how to apply formulas to unfamiliar scenarios.
