Class Notes: Physics

1. Introduction to Physics:
o Definition: The branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of
matter and energy.
o Importance: Explains fundamental principles of the universe and provides a
foundation for technology and engineering.
o Key Branches: Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Optics,
Quantum Physics, and Relativity.
2. Key Concepts:

a. Motion and Forces:

o Newton’s Laws of Motion:


1. An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an
external force.
2. Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).
3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
o Kinematics: Describes motion using displacement, velocity, acceleration, and
time.
o Dynamics: Explores causes of motion and the forces involved.

b. Energy and Work:

o Work: The product of force and displacement in the direction of the force (W =
Fd cosθ).
o Energy:
▪ Kinetic Energy: Energy due to motion (KE = 1/2 mv²).
▪ Potential Energy: Stored energy due to position (PE = mgh).
o Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only
transformed.

c. Waves and Oscillations:

o Definition: Waves are disturbances that transfer energy through a medium or


space.
o Types:
▪ Mechanical Waves: Require a medium (e.g., sound, water waves).
▪ Electromagnetic Waves: Do not require a medium (e.g., light, radio
waves).
o Key Properties: Wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed.

d. Electricity and Magnetism:

o Electric Charge: Fundamental property of matter, measured in coulombs (C).


o Ohm’s Law: Voltage equals current times resistance (V = IR).
o Magnetic Fields: Produced by moving charges or currents.
o Electromagnetic Induction: Generating electric current using a changing magnetic
field.
3. Applications of Physics:
o Everyday Life: Explains phenomena like gravity, heat, and electricity.
o Technology: Basis for devices like smartphones, GPS, and medical imaging.
o Scientific Research: Advances knowledge in fields like astronomy and particle
physics.
4. Modern Physics: a. Quantum Mechanics:
o Studies behavior of particles at atomic and subatomic scales.
o Key Principles: Wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle.

b. Relativity:

o General Relativity: Explains gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by


mass.
o Special Relativity: Describes the relationship between space and time at high
velocities.
5. Laboratory and Experiments:
o Importance of experimentation in verifying theories and discovering new
phenomena.
o Key Experiments: Galileo’s study of motion, Michelson-Morley experiment,
Rutherford’s gold foil experiment.
6. Challenges and Frontiers:
o Unification of Forces: Efforts to combine quantum mechanics and general
relativity.
o Dark Matter and Dark Energy: Understanding the composition of the universe.
o Renewable Energy: Physics in the development of sustainable technologies.

Class Notes: Chemistry

1. Introduction to Chemistry:
o Definition: The study of matter, its properties, composition, and the changes it
undergoes.
o Importance: Central science connecting physics, biology, and environmental
science.
o Branches: Organic, Inorganic, Physical, Analytical, and Biochemistry.
2. Key Concepts:

a. Atomic Structure:

o Atoms: Building blocks of matter, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons.


o Atomic Number: Number of protons in an atom.
o Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
b. Periodic Table:

o Organized by increasing atomic number.


o Groups/Families: Columns with similar chemical properties.
o Periods: Rows indicating energy levels of electrons.

c. Chemical Bonds:

o Ionic Bonds: Transfer of electrons between atoms.


o Covalent Bonds: Sharing of electrons between atoms.
o Metallic Bonds: Delocalized electrons shared among a lattice of metal atoms.

d. Chemical Reactions:

o Reactants and Products: Substances consumed and formed in a reaction.


o Types:
▪ Synthesis: Two or more substances combine to form a single product.
▪ Decomposition: A compound breaks down into simpler substances.
▪ Combustion: Rapid reaction with oxygen, releasing energy.
▪ Redox: Involves transfer of electrons (oxidation and reduction).
o Balancing Equations: Ensures the conservation of mass.

e. States of Matter:

o Solid, Liquid, Gas: Defined by particle arrangement and energy.


o Phase Changes: Transitions like melting, boiling, and condensation.
o Gas Laws: Relationships between pressure, volume, temperature, and amount
(e.g., Boyle’s Law, Charles’ Law).
3. Applications of Chemistry:
o Medicine: Development of pharmaceuticals and diagnostic tools.
o Agriculture: Fertilizers, pesticides, and soil chemistry.
o Industry: Production of plastics, fuels, and materials.
o Environment: Understanding pollution, recycling, and climate change.
4. Modern Chemistry:
