Class X physics

This course introduces students to the core principles of physics and connects them to real-life applications. It develops conceptual understanding, analytical thinking, and numerical problem-solving skills required for board examinations and higher science studies.
The course begins with Light – Reflection and Refraction, covering image formation by mirrors and lenses, ray diagrams, magnification, refractive index, and optical instruments including the human eye and its defects. Students then explore The Human Eye and the Colourful World, learning dispersion, scattering of light, atmospheric refraction, and natural phenomena such as blue sky and red sunset.
In the Electricity unit, learners study electric current, potential difference, resistance, Ohm’s law, and combination of resistors, followed by calculations of electric power and domestic electricity usage.
The module Magnetic Effects of Electric Current explains magnetic fields, electromagnets, Fleming’s rules, electric motor, generator, and household wiring safety.
Under Sources of Energy, students evaluate renewable and non-renewable energy resources, efficiency, environmental impact, and sustainable alternatives.
Finally, Our Environment and Management of Natural Resources introduce ecosystems, food chains, conservation, and sustainable development.
By the end of the course, students will be able to interpret physical phenomena, solve numericals, draw ray diagrams, and apply physics concepts to everyday life and technology.
