Preface
This data booklet is intended for use by candidates in examinations in Physics at Standard Grade,
Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2, Higher and Advanced Higher levels from the 2006 examination diet.
It is recommended that candidates become familiar with the contents of the data booklet through use
in undertaking Units of these Courses, including Physics Units at Access 3.

The range of data contained in the booklet has been limited to syllabus content which may be
assessed through written examination papers. This data should be supplemented by other resource
material as necessary during the course, eg by using data sheets. However, should any additional
information (or data not included in this booklet) be required in an examination, it will be included
in the examination paper.

Additional relationships, which candidates may find useful, are given on page 8.
A periodic table of elements is included on page 9.

From the variety of data offered in this booklet, candidates will be expected to demonstrate the
ability to select an appropriate:

◆ formula
◆ relationship
◆ element or data pertaining to an element
