Flashcards

What is Physics?

Physics is the study of nature and its fundamental laws. It delves into the properties of matter, energy, forces, motion, light, and other natural phenomena.

What is Mechanics?

Mechanics deals with the motion of objects and the forces that cause them. It explores concepts like displacement, velocity, acceleration, and momentum.

What is Thermodynamics?

Thermodynamics studies heat, temperature, and their relationships to energy and work. It explores concepts like entropy, enthalpy, and the conservation of energy.

What is Optics?

Optics is the study of light and its properties, including reflection, refraction, and diffraction. It explores how light interacts with matter.

Study Notes

भौतिकी

  • भौतिकी प्रकृति और उसके नियमों का अध्ययन है। यह पदार्थ, ऊर्जा, बल, गति, प्रकाश और अन्य प्राकृतिक घटनाओं का अध्ययन करती है।
  • भौतिकी में कई शाखाएँ हैं, जैसे यांत्रिकी, ऊष्मागतिकी, प्रकाशिकी, ध्वनिकी और इलेक्ट्रिकी।
  • विभिन्न भौतिक सिद्धांतों और नियमों को समझने के लिए गणितीय उपकरणों का उपयोग किया जाता है।
  • भौतिकी के सिद्धांतों का उपयोग विभिन्न तकनीकी अनुप्रयोगों में किया जाता है, जैसे उपकरणों और प्रौद्योगिकियों का विकास।

बीमा

  • बीमा एक अनुबंध है जिसमें एक व्यक्ति या संगठन (बीमितकर्ता) एक निश्चित शुल्क (प्रीमियम) का भुगतान करता है, और विपरीत दशा में किसी क्षति या हानि (बीमाकृत घटना) के लिए एक कंपनी या संगठन (बीमाकर्ता) जिम्मेदार होता है।
  • बीमा की प्रक्रिया बीमितकर्ता के लिए आर्थिक सुरक्षा प्रदान करती है।
  • बीमाकर्ता के लिए, यह एक तरह का निवेश होता है, जहाँ बीमाकर्ता बड़ी संख्या में बीमित घटनाओं के जोखिम का प्रबंधन करता है।
  • बीमा विभिन्न प्रकार के जोखिमों पर लागू होता है, जैसे स्वास्थ्य, संपत्ति, यात्रा और अन्य।
  • बीमा की कुछ महत्वपूर्ण विशेषताएँ हैं:
    • जोखिम वित्तपोषण
    • क्षतिपूर्ति
    • अनुमान

मात्रक

  • मात्रक माप की मानक इकाइयाँ हैं जिनका उपयोग भौतिक राशियों को मापने के लिए किया जाता है।
  • मात्रक प्रणालियों में सामान्य रूप से शामिल हैं:
    • लंबाई (मीटर)
    • द्रव्यमान (किलोग्राम)
    • समय (सेकंड)
  • विभिन्न भौतिक राशियों (जैसे बल, ऊर्जा, वेग) के लिए मात्रक परिभाषित किए गए हैं।
  • मात्रकों का उपयोग विभिन्न वैज्ञानिक और तकनीकी क्षेत्रों में किया जाता है।
  • मात्रकों को समझना विभिन्न भौतिक घटनाओं को समझने, मापने और तुलना करने में महत्वपूर्ण है।
  • विभिन्न मात्रकों के मानकीकरण से वैज्ञानिक और तकनीकी सहयोग को बढ़ावा मिलता है।
  • मात्रक आमतौर पर अंतर्राष्ट्रीय प्रणाली (SI) मात्रकों में व्यक्त किए जाते हैं।
  • मात्रकों की एकरूपता और सुसंगति वैज्ञानिक अनुसंधान और व्यावहारिक अनुप्रयोगों दोनों के लिए आवश्यक है।
