1. What is Physics? Physics The branch of science concerned with the study of properties and interactions of space, time, matter and energy. Natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space-time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.
2. What are the divisions of physics? Classical mechanics: The physics of forces that act upon bodies - gravity, friction, air resistance etc. Often named 'Newtonian physics' due to his theories and laws of motion. Also studies the mechanics of hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, pneumatics and aerodynamics. Electromagnetism: The physics of interactions between charged particles and magnetic fields. Can be further divided into electrostatics (study of charges at rest) and electrodynamics (study of moving charges and radiation). Relativity: Usually combines both electromagnetism and mechanics, in which principles from mechanics can be used to derive principles from electromagnetism and vice versa. Quantum physics: The branch of physics that uses the quantum theory to describe and predict the properties of a physical system in both atomic and subatomic systems. It can also be described as being the study of atomic and subatomic systems and their interaction with radiation. It is solely based on the theory that all forms of energy in the universe are released in special units called "quanta". Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics: Thermodynamics literally means the interaction and conversion of heat and other forms of energy on systems. Statistical mechanics refers more to the future prediction of an energy or particle's behavior based on the statistical behavior of their particles. Other branches of physics aren't listed as 'main divisions' namely because they focus more on the impact of physics on Earth instead of universally, and these include: Chemical physics: The study of chemistry which is concerned with laws and theories of physics such as thermodynamics and electromagnetism and how they interact with chemical systems. Geophysics: The science of physical processes and relations that occur on and within Earth. Ecophysics: The application of laws and theories from ecology to studies in physics. 3. What are the branches of Physics?
Acoustics studies the production and properties of sound.
Atomic physics examines the structure, properties, and behaviour of the atom. Biophysics applies the tools and techniques of physics to the study of living things and the life processes. Cryogenics is the study of extremely low temperatures. Electrodynamics analyses the relationship between electrical and magnetic forces. Fluid physics deals with the behaviour and movements of liquids and gases. Geophysics is the study of earth and its atmosphere and waters by means of the principles of physics. Health physics involves the protection of people work with is near radiation. Mathematical physics is the study of mathematical systems that stands for physical phenomena. Mechanics deals with the behaviour of objects and systems in response to various forces. Molecular physics examines the structure, properties, and behaviour of molecules. Nuclear physics is concerned with the structure and properties of the atomic nucleus, and with nuclear reactions and their applications. Optics is the study of the nature and behaviour of light. Particle physics, also called high energy physics, analyses the behaviour and properties of elementary particles. Plasma physics is concerned with the study of highly ionized gases- that is, gases that have been separated into positively and negatively charged particles. Quantum physics includes various areas of study based on quantum theory, which deals with matter and electromagnetic radiation, and the interactions between them. Solid-state physics, also called condensed-matter physics, examines the physical properties of solid materials. Thermodynamics is the study of heat and other forms of energy, and of the conversion of energy from one form to another.
