Where this comes from

Project Cherenkov writes this syllabus itself, from the sources below. Each topic is labelled with the syllabuses that list it.

  • OSNPanduan OSN SMA/MA/SMK/MAK/Sederajat — Silabus OSN, Cabang Fisika (Teori + Praktikum)

    National syllabus · Issued by Pusat Prestasi Nasional, Kemendikdasmen · Edition: OSN 2026 · Official language: Indonesian

    Known from secondary summaries only · No comparison date recorded

    Names in English are unofficial glosses written by Project Cherenkov, so check the source if in doubt.

    This list has not been compared with the 2026 OSN guide. The 2025 edition of the same appendix was read directly and gives the same ten mechanics headings; two electricity and magnetism headings read “Statik” there, not “Statis”.

  • IPhOIPhO Syllabus (Appendix to the Statutes of the International Physics Olympiads)

    International syllabus · Issued by International Physics Olympiad · Edition: Accepted 2014 (Astana), amended 2015 (Mumbai) · Official language: English

    Compared with the primary document · Last compared November 10, 2026

    Compared with a copy hosted by IPhO 2024, not the official copy on the IPhO site. Whether a version newer than 2015 exists has not been checked.

What is Project Cherenkov’s own: the subtopics, the translations into the other language, and the pairing of a topic with a source that does not state it itself. Section pointers such as “IPhO §2.4.3” name the place in the source where a topic comes from.

Each label says which syllabuses list the topic. “Not confirmed” means we have not found the topic in that source; it does not mean the topic is excluded.
