PHYSICS
study of the properties, behavior and
interaction between matter and energy
study that investigates and formulates the
fundamental laws of nature
MAIN AREAS OF PHYSICS:
1. Mechanics concerned with the motion of
objects that are large relative to atoms and
move at speeds much slower than the speed of
light
include mechanics of solids and fluid
mechanics
2. Electromagnetism explores the concepts
that deals with electrical charges, electricity and
magnetism
3. Thermodynamics deals with heat, work,
temperature and statistical behavior of systems
with large number of particles
4. Wave Physics deals with propagation and
vibratory properties of matter
optics deals with light
acoustics deals with sounds
5. Modern Physics the study of the properties
and interaction among atoms and sub-atomic
particles
includes relativity, quantum mechanics,
nuclear physics, statistical mechanics
(thermodynamics in terms of probabilities)
and condensed matter (once called solid state
physics)
