Hi all!
What are your predictions for content/styles of questions to be examined in physics HSC 2021.

How should we go about preparing at this stage?

Thanks!!!

i think they might ask something on ac induction and Schrodinger as neither hsc been tested as of yet in short answer I think. they love law of conservation of energy so prepare for that too

About Schrodinger, to what extent do we need to know about his model and contributions?
I don't fully understand everything to do with his model so yeah.

I think maybe just that it predicts the position of the electron based on a probability density function, and just know that it is very similar to older models as the densities roughly correlate to the different energy levels as predicted by Niels Bohr. Also I would want to know that it was based on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle where one cannot know both the momentum and position of a quantum particle for certain. But even these things that i said are a reach and i highly doubt anything outside these things would be tested.

this section is also very vague in the syllabus as " analyse the contribution of Schrödinger to the current model of the atom " is the only mention of Schrodinger in any of the dot points.
