The program presents key concepts of mechanics and light, employing high quality graphics and animations, live footage and worked examples of relevant formulas. Conveniently structured in short clip format, the mechanics section covers scalars and vectors, equations of motions, projectile and circular motions, Newton's laws of motion including a dynamic illustration of the third law in action, kinetic and potential energies both gravitational and elastic, energy conservation, collisions, and conservation of momentum. The light section covers light as a wave, wave equation, combining light of different colours, reflection in plane and curved mirrors including ray diagrams, refraction, convex and concave lenses including ray diagrams, polarisation, diffraction, interference, photoelectric effect, wave-particle duality.
