POWERING INNOVATION THAT DRIVES HUMAN ADVANCEMENT

Physics

Physics is the scientific study of matter, energy, and the fundamental forces that govern their interactions. It aims to understand how the universe behaves, from the smallest particles to the vastness of galaxies. Physics explores everything from simple phenomena, like the motion of objects, to complex concepts, like the nature of space and time.

Physicists use experiments, observations, and mathematical models to describe and predict natural phenomena. Major areas of physics include:

  • Classical Mechanics: Studies the motion of objects and forces acting on them, like gravity.
  • Thermodynamics: Focuses on heat, energy, and work.
  • Electromagnetism: Examines electric and magnetic fields and their effects on matter.
  • Quantum Mechanics: Deals with particles on an atomic and subatomic level.
  • Relativity: Studies objects moving at high speeds and the influence of gravity on space and time.
  • Nuclear and Particle Physics: Explores the particles that make up atoms and the forces within the nucleus.

Physics plays a foundational role in many fields, like engineering, chemistry, and astronomy, because it helps explain how and why things work in the physical world.
