FUNDAMENTALS

OF PHYSICS
PHYSICS
• Physics deals with the interaction
of matter, force and energy
• It deals with the physical
properties and phenomena of
something
SUBDIVISION
• CLASSICAL PHYSICS – all
discoveries, principles, and
inventions prior to 1900
• MODERN PHYSICS – those
beyond 1900
CLASSICAL
PHYSICS
 MECHANICS
•Deals with motion, force,
work, energy and fluids
HEAT AND THERMODYNAMICS
• Deals with the effects of heat
when added to or removed from a
system, the methods of heat
transfer, and the transformation of
heat energy to mechanical energy
or work and vice versa
OPTICS
• It deals with the study of light and
its properties
ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM
• It deals with the phenomena
associated with electrical charges,
magnetism, and relationship
between electricity and
magnetism
WAVE MOTION AND SOUND
• It deals with properties,
transmission, and perception of
different types of wave
MODERN
PHYSICS
NUCLEAR PHYSICS
• It deals with the properties of and
the reactions within the atomic
nucleus
GENERAL RELATIVITY
• It tells how matter curves
space-time and how the curvature
of space-time dictates the
trajectory of matter and light
SPECIAL RELATIVITY
• It deals with the phenomena
associated when an object moves
with speeds approaching the
speed of light in vacuum
PARTICLE PHYSICS
• It deals with the building blocks of
matter called elementary particles
QUANTUM MECHANICS
• It deals with the nature and
behavior of matter and energy on
the atomic and subatomic levels
As of now, there are a lot of
happenings showing life
deterioration in this planet, as
a student what can you
suggest and possibly do in
order to help our planet to
continually support life?
