Physics For Beginners

Importance of Physics

Physics is important because it:

1. Helps us to understand nature and the universe

2. Forms the foundation of engineering and technology

3. Improves problem-solving and logical reasoning skills

4. Drives scientific discoveries and innovation

5. Supports other sciences like chemistry, biology, astronomy and geology.

Branches of Physics

Physics is generally divided into two: Classical Physics and Modern Physics

Classical Physics includes:
• Mechanics (deals with force and motion)
• Thermodynamics (deals with heat and temperature)
• Optics (deals with light)
• Electromagnetism (deals with electricity and magnetism)
• Acoustics (deals with sound and waves)

Modern Physics includes:
• Quantum Mechanics
• Relativity
• Particle Physics
• Atomic Physics
• Molecular Physics
• Nuclear Physics

Classical Physics (macro Physics) deals with objects visible to the naked eye (e.g., cars, planets), while Modern Physics (micro physics) deals with particles invisible to the eye (e.g., atoms, electrons).

NB: Our lessons shall focus, mainly, on Classical Physics.

Did you see our last lesson: What Is Physics? Do you have any question on today’s lesson?

Still under “Introduction To Physics”, we will discuss the following:
* Scope of Physics
* Importance of Physics
* Applications of Physics

What Is Physics?

Physics is a natural science that studies matter and energy and the interactions between them.

It explains natural phenomena and helps us to understand how the universe works. For example, Physics explains why:
• Lightning occurs
• Aeroplanes fly

A person who studied Physics is called a Physicist.
