PHYSICS PHYSICAL OPTICS – has something to do with the

★ Is the study of the Interactions between behavior and characteristics/properties of Light;

Matter and Energy. Study of:

★ Reflection
“All Matter possesses energy” ★ Refraction
★ Lenses
FIELDS OF PHYSICS ★ Mirrors
★ Echo – repeated sound.
MECHANICS – Study of Motion. ★ Light – Is a spectrum.
★ Reverberation – repeated echo
★ Kinematics
★ Mathematical description of motion.
How images are created in Lenses and Mirrors:
★ 1D and 2D motion.
Size: Reduced / Enlarged
Attitude: Upright / Inverted
★ Dynamics
Location: Focal point / Beyond / center of curvature
★ Study of forces that cause motion.
Type: Real / Virtual
- Newton’s Laws
- Energy
- Momentum THERMODYNAMICS – Deals with the study of Heat
- Fluids and Energy.

ELECTRICITY – Study of electric charge and the

effects they cause. prime movement: electrons.
When electrons move, it creates/generates energy
★ Electrostatic
- Study of the effect of charges collected and
held in one place.
MODERN PHYSICS – It studies the smallest scale of
quantum mechanics and largest scale of relativity;
has something to do with the extreme condition of
matter (tiniest to biggest particle)

★ Electric Current
- Study of effects caused by moving charge.
MAGNETISM – Study of the magnetic forces created
by moving charge; Magnetic field and electric charges
in motion.
MEASUREMENT
MEASUREMENT - Is the quantification of attributes
of an object or event, which can be used to compare
with other objects or events.
★ Made up of a number and a unit.

WAVES – Study of vibrational motion; SYSTEMS OF MEASUREMENT

★ Simple Harmonic Motion ★ English or British System
★ Disturbance ★ Metric System
★ Mechanical Wave
★ Sound Waves – cannot travel through a
vacuum

ELECTROMAGNETIC – Travels in a vacuum in a

constant speed; speed of light: 299 792 458 m/s | c =
3x108 m/s

★ Radio Waves
★ Microwaves
★ Infrared radiation
★ Visible light
★ Ultraviolet radiation
★ X-rays
★ Gamma ray

quantities with the help of dimensions and
Length Meter m units of measurement is termed as
dimensional analysis.
Time Second s ★ Dimensional analysis is essential because it
keeps the units the same, helping us perform

To help you understand the state better, let’s say you

DERIVED UNITS want to know how many meters make 3 km?
★ A combination of two or more base units. We know that 1000 meters make 1 km,

Therefore,

★ 3 km = 3 × 1000 meters = 3000 meters

Here, the conversion factor is 1000 meters.

UNIT PREFIXES
★ Is a specifier or mnemonic that is prepended
to units of measurement to indicate multiples
or fractions of the units. Units of various sizes
are commonly formed by the use of such
prefixes. The prefixes of the metric system,
such as kilo and milli, represent multiplication
by powers of ten.
