The Basic Physics Requirement is meant to make sure you have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of physics -- classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, basic optics and continuum physics, basic mathematical methods of physics, and the physics of everyday phenomena.
The Advanced Physics Requirement is really a breadth requirement; it's purpose is to make sure students graduating from Caltech leave with a fairly broad knowledge of physics.
