Department of Physics
We are constantly surrounded by physics, and whether we know it or not, we use it on a daily basis. Physics is an ancient and diverse area of science that studies matter and energy. The term 'physics' derives from the Greek word 'fusis,' which means 'knowledge of nature,' and the field's overall goal is to study and comprehend the universe's natural phenomena. Physicists research the properties of matter, energy, and their reciprocal relationship.
Physics's Reach and Expansion
Physics is a branch of science that studies the properties of matter and energy, as well as their interactions. It also attempts to understand the material world as well as natural events in the universe. Physics has a very wide and massive reach. It covers not only the tiniest atoms, but also celestial phenomena such as galaxies, the Milky Way, solar and lunar eclipses, and so on.
Physics can be divided into two categories.
A. Classical physics: Classical physics encompasses the conventional branches and topics that were well-established and well-developed prior to the turn of the twentieth century. It is primarily concerned with Sir Isaac Newton's laws of motion and gravitation, as well as James Clerk Maxwell's kinetic theory and thermodynamics. The emphasis of classical physics is on matter and energy. Energy and matter are treated as distinct entities in this branch.
(B) Modern physics: Modern physics is a branch of physics concerned primarily with relativity theory and quantum mechanics.
Modern physics was created by Albert Einstein and Max Plank.
