Scope and excitement of physics

Before we learn about scope and excitement of physics .. let me try to help you understand what is all about physics? so that when tell you about the scope you will be able to understand in a better way.

what is physics?

The word 'Physics' comes from the Greek word 'phusis' meaning 'nature', introduced by the ancient scientist 'Aristotle'. Man has always been fascinated by nature. So, he questioned and sought answers for every phenomena nature could offer. The branch of science which is devoted to the study of nature and natural phenomena is called Physics. It is expected that all the events in nature take place according to some basic laws. Physics reveals these basic laws from day-to-day observations.

The knowledge of physics accumulated till 1900 is called classical physics that deals with macroscopic phenomena. It includes subjects like:

• Mechanics
• Thermodynamics
• Electromagnetism, and
• Optics

Scope and excitement of physics -

The scope of physics is very large. Physics deals with a wide variety of disciplines such as mechanics, heat and light. Study of mechanics helps us to know the forces involved in the flight of a bird, walk of a man and so on. The study of heat helps us to know the rise and fall of temperatures, working of heat engines and so on. Electricity helps to understand the basic principles involved in generators and motors.

This is only the brief introduction to scope and what is all about physics.. Keep reading.. i can help you more on all physics topics.
