PHYSICAL WORLD : CHAPTER 1

*science: science is a systematic understanding of phenomenon in detail. So that

I can be predicted, controlled and modified

*scientific methods and theory:

. scientific method is a way to gain knowledge in a

systematic an in depth way

THE SCIENTIFIC METHODS IVOLVED THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

 Systematic observation
 Quality and Quantitative
 Controlled experiments
 mathematical roaming
 prediction and verification of theories
 speculation or prediction

NOTE: SCIENCE DOES NOT HAVE ANY FINAL THEORY. THE IMPROVED
OBSERVATION,ACCURATES TOOLS KEEP IMPROVING THE KNOWLEDGE

SCOPE AND EXPERIMENTS OF PHYSICS :

TWO DOMAIN OF INTEREST IN PHYSICS :

 MACROSCOPIC
 MICROSCOPIC
 (i) MACROSCOPIC DOMAIN : Macroscopic domain is having phenomena involve at large
scale such as laboratory terrestrial an astronomical.

INCLUDING SUBJECTS :

o MECHANICS
o ELECTRODYNAMICS
o OPTICS
o THERMODYNAMICS

(ii) MICROSCOPIC DOMAIN: Microscopic domain will be processed at small scales such as
atomic,molecular and nuclear
 It will be discussing about the interest of problems
such as electrons, protons and other elementary
particles
 Quantum theory has been made to discuss these
phenomena.

Some reasons for the improvement of physics:

 Quality analyst along with quantitative analysis

 Universal laws are applicable in various context
 Complex phenomena broken down collection of basic laws
 Extracting and focusing on necessary characteristics of phenomenon

FUNDEMENTAL FORCES IN NATURE:

 GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
 ELECTOMAGNETIC FORCE
 STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE
 WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE
