Classical Physics

• Studies macroscopic phenomena at speeds much lower than the speed of light.
• Key Areas:
  • Mechanics: Motion, forces, and energy (e.g., Newton's Laws).
  • Thermodynamics: Heat, temperature, and energy transfer.
  • Waves and Oscillations: Sound, water waves, and pendulums.

Modern Physics

• Focuses on microscopic phenomena and extreme conditions.
• Key Areas:
  • Quantum Mechanics: Behavior of particles at atomic and subatomic levels.
  • Relativity: Effects of high speeds and gravity (e.g., Einstein's theories).

Astrophysics

• Study of celestial bodies and the universe as a whole.
• Topics: Black holes, galaxies, and the Big Bang theory.

Nuclear Physics

• Study of atomic nuclei and their interactions.
• Applications: Nuclear energy, medical imaging (MRI).

Electromagnetism

• Study of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions.
• Applications: Electric circuits, motors, and wireless communication.

Optics

• Study of light and its properties.
• Topics: Reflection, refraction, and lasers.

Condensed Matter Physics

• Study of properties of solids and liquids.
• Applications: Semiconductors, superconductors, and materials science.
