i would go for physics of fluid

it would be more challenging for me

but seriously how about u ?

which one are you most interested in Nisha ?
 
just out of interest, is anyone doing the Edexcel syllabus?
 
i feel fluid physics would be more interesting!moreover it depends on your interest.
 
I did Medical Physics at A level and it was pretty basic so if you want an easy time choose that. It's mainly a case of learning off the theory, some diagrams and some equations. Not too much thought required in comparison to other topics. I did enjoy it though- made a nice change from all the other topics we had covered!
