Q: What does O-Level Physics Syllabus: 2026 Edition (Singapore) cover?
A: A parent- and student-friendly roadmap to the SEAB 6091 O-Level Physics specification - exam format, topic flow.

TL;DR
The 2026 SEAB 6091 Physics spec keeps the classic mechanics-to-nuclear arc and assesses Paper 3 through two 55-minute practical sections (20% overall) covering Planning/MMO/PDO/ACE (SEAB syllabus PDF).
Data-analysis questions can appear without live apparatus, and candidates are expected to be familiar with data-loggers (same source).
Master forces → SUVAT → energy plus the syllabus practical techniques list early so Paper 3 routines fit comfortably within each 55-minute window.

Status: SEAB O-Level Physics syllabus 6091 for the 2026 examination year checked 2026-06-02 - refresh when SEAB publishes a newer syllabus edition.

5. Energy, Work, Power	KE-PE transfer, efficiency	$KE = \tfrac12 m v^2$
6. Thermal Physics	Conduction, convection, radiation; gas laws	$p V = n R T$
7. Waves	Transverse vs longitudinal, sound, EM spectrum	$v = f \lambda$
8. Light	Reflection, refraction, lenses, critical angle	$n_i \sin \theta_i = n_r \sin \theta_r$
9. Electricity	Current, potential difference, $R = \frac{V}{I}$ , circuits	$P = V I$
10. Magnetism & EM	Electromagnets, EM induction, transformers	$E = - N \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}$
11. Radioactivity	Alpha, beta, gamma, half-life	$N = N_0 e^{-\lambda t}$
