PHYSICS

About the Subject

Physics is a fundamental branch of science that seeks to understand the natural world and the laws that govern it. It explores the behavior and interactions of matter and energy, from the smallest particles to the vast expanse of the universe. The word "physics" is derived from the Greek word "physis," which means “nature”.

The applications of physics are numerous and impact every aspect of human lives. From the development of advanced technologies and medical imaging techniques to the exploration of outer space and the design of renewable energy systems, physics plays a crucial role in shaping our modern world. It provides the foundation for advancements in engineering, medicine, telecommunications, materials science, and many other fields.
