Study Notes
Modeling
- There are two types of models used to understand a subject.
Models Involving Physical Phenomena
- These models involve using another physical phenomenon to understand the subject.
- Analogy is used to explain physics of the body, but they are not perfect.
- Example: The eye is compared to a camera, but the analogy is limited as the retina (light detector) cannot be compared to the film that needs to be developed and replaced.
