    Study Notes

    Physics and Chemistry

    • Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation.
    • Spectroscopy is used extensively in chemistry to analyze the structure of atoms and molecules.
    • Spectroscopic techniques are developed through collaboration between physicists and chemists.
    • Atomic and molecular physics contribute to our understanding of chemical concepts such as atomic structure, chemical bonds, crystal structure of solids, and periodic properties of elements.

    Physics and Biology

    • Physics explains how the human body functions, including mechanics of motion, energy of metabolism, fluid dynamics of blood flow, mechanisms of speech and hearing, and the visual system.
    • Newtonian mechanics explains the movement of animals and their body parts.
    • Astronomers use telescopes that detect different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum to study astronomical objects.

    Physics and Astronomy

    • Telescopes detect different types of electromagnetic radiation, which are then converted into images by computers.
    • The colors we observe in these images are often "false colors" because they represent wavelengths invisible to the human eye.
    • Astronomers use the brightness of objects to measure distances.
    • The inverse square law of apparent brightness states that brightness decreases with the square of the distance.
    • A light-year is the distance light travels in one year.

    Physics and Engineering

    • Mechanical engineering relies on physics concepts like mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, forces, stresses, and aerodynamics to design machines and systems like aircraft, watercraft, engines, and robotics.
    • Electrical engineering utilizes concepts like electromagnetism, mechanics, and thermodynamics to design electrical circuits, appliances, and communications systems.
    • Chemical engineering involves the production of products through chemical processes, requiring understanding of physical chemistry and physics.

    Physics and Medical Imaging

    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses the principle of magnetic resonance, where protons in the body are manipulated by magnetic fields to generate detailed images of soft tissues.
    • Geologists use physics concepts like force, optics, atomic structure, electromagnetic radiation, heat, electricity, magnetism, stress, and fluid flow to study geological processes and analytical techniques.

    Physics and Other Fields

    • Medical physics applies physics principles to medical diagnosis and treatment, leading to the development of equipment like X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and ultrasound.
    • Defense technologies such as radar and infra-red night vision rely on the physics of electromagnetic waves.
    • Civil engineering applies physics to understand forces, tension, vibrations, and strength calculations for designing and constructing buildings and infrastructure.
