What is PHYSICS? The word physics itself is derived from the Greek word, (phusis) meaning nature. \"Natural Science\" is a branch of science that deals with the physical world. MEANING OF PHYSICS is the study of everyday phenomena. it is concern in answering how a thing/scenario happened. TWO TYPES OF PHYSICS CLASSICAL PHYSICS -It refers to the conventional forces that were identified and developed prior to the turn of the twentieth century. MODERN PHYSICS -It refers to Physics concepts that have emerged since the turn of the twentieth century. BRANCHES OF PHYSICS ACOUSTIC \- Acoustics deals with the study of sound and its transmission, production, and effects. Acoustics mainly involves the mechanical waves \- which include vibration, sound, ultrasound, and infrasound. MECHANICS \- is the branch of physics that deals with the motion of an object without or with the reference of force. \- divided into two branches, namely quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. \- deals with the behaviour of the smallest particles, \- the branch that deals with laws of motion of forces and physical objects. OPTICS \- This branch of physics deals with the behavior, propagation, properties of light. THERMODYNAMICS \- deals with the study of heat and its relation with work and energy. \- deals with the transmission of heat energy by means of convection, conduction, and radiation. ELECTROMAGNETISM \- deals with the study of electromagnetic force like electric fields, light, magnetic fields, etc. \- two aspects of There are electromagnetism which \"electricity\" and \"magnetism\". +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | | | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
