Physics in the 11th grade is the final chord in the school course, the time for systematization and generalization of all the acquired knowledge about the incredible world of physics. We will return to the already familiar sections, but consider them on a qualitatively new level, focusing on the relationshipcommunication between various physical phenomena and their practical application in the modern world. Particular attention will be paid to oscillations and waves, optics, the basics of relativity and quantum physics.

This year is a great opportunity to fill the latest gaps in knowledge and finally see the integrity and logic of the physical picture of the world. We will not just repeat the formulas, but learn to see a deep meaning behind them, to understand how the fundamental laws underlie the technologies that surround us. Successful mastering of 11th grade physics course will be your solid foundation for further education and understanding of the world around.
