 Importance Of Physics

Physics helps in expanding our knowledge of the fundamental laws

that govern nature.

The basic understanding of physics and physical laws are required in

understanding other subjects such as the earth, agriculture, and
chemical, biological and environmental sciences.

The understanding of the fundamental laws of nature contributes to

new technological developments which, in turn improve the quality
of our life.
Branches Of Physics
1. Mechanics

It is the study of the

interactions between matter
and the forces acting on it.

It also deals with the study of

the motion of objects, its causes
and effects.

Some topics under it are

kinematics, dynamics,
gravitation, work and energy.
2. Acoustics

It is the branch of physics that

deals with the study of sound.

It is the science concerned

with production, control,
transmission, reception and
effects of sound.

Some topics under it are

vibration, sound, echo,
ultrasonic and infrasonic sound.
3. Optics

It is the branch of physics that

deals with the study of the
behavior of light.

It is used to describe the

behavior of visible light, infrared
light, and the ultraviolet.

Some topics under it include

reflection, refraction, total internal
reflection and dispersion.
4. Astronomy

Astronomy is the branch of

physics that deals with the study
of the universe beyond the
earth’s atmosphere.

It is one of the oldest sciences.

It is concerned with evolution,

physics, chemistry, meteorology,
and motion of celestial objects,
as well as the formation and
development of universe.
5. Thermodynamics
It is the branch of physics that deals
with the study of heat and its
interaction with energy and work.

The behavior of heat is governed by

the four laws of thermodynamics.

Thermodynamics applies to a wide

variety of topics
in science and engineering,
especially physical
chemistry, chemical
engineering and mechanical
engineering, but also in fields as
complex as meteorology.
6. Electromagnetism

It is the branch of physics that

deals with the study of electricity
and magnetism.

It has various applications in our

day to day life such as electric
bell, microphones, speakers and
cell phones.

Electromagnetic force is a force

that acts between charged
particles and is a combination of
electrical and magnetic forces.
7. Nuclear Physics

It is the branch of physics that deals

with the study of atomic nuclei.

This includes nuclear power,

nuclear weapons, nuclear medicine

and magnetic resonance imaging,

industrial and agricultural isotopes,

ion implantation in materials

engineering, and radiocarbon
dating in geology and archaeology.
