Q1) What is physics? Define branches of physics.
PHYSICS:
Physics is the branch of science which observes the nature, represent it mathematically
and conclude with the experiment.
BRANCHES OF PHYSICS:
Some branches of physics are as follows:
1) Mechanics:
This branch of physics is mainly concern with the law of motion and gravitation.
2) Thermodynamics:
This branch of physics deals with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and
work.
3) Electricity:
Electricity is the study of properties of charges in rest and motion.
4) Magnetism:
Magnetism is the study of magnetic properties of materials.
5) Atomic Physics:
Atomic physics deals with the composition, structure and properties of the atom.
6) Optics:
Optics studies physical aspects of light and its properties with the help of optical
instruments.
7) Sound:
Sound is the study of production, properties and its applications of sound.
8) Nuclear Physics:
It deals with the constituents, structure, behavior and interactions atomic nuclei.
9) Particle Physics:
Particle physics studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation and the
interaction between them.
10) Astrophysics:
The study of celestial objects with the help of laws of physics is known as astrophysics.
11) Plasma Physics:
The study of ionized state of matter and its properties is known as plasma physics.
12) Geo Physics:
The study of internal structure of earth is known as geo physics.
Q2) Write down the importance of physics in daily life?
IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICS IN DAILY LIFE:
Physics is playing a vital role in forming our life style and influencing our way of thinking.
1) We use several electrical appliances with electricity.
2) Engine of the vehicles are manufactured on the principles of thermodynamics.
3) Laser technology widely used in defense system which has its roots in atomic physics.
4) Production of nuclear energy is area of nuclear physics.
SCIENTIFIC REASON
1) Can you tell how hot air balloons works?
The density of air inside the balloon is much lesser than the air outside. This causes the
balloons floats upward.
2) How you can identify which gas is denser among the gases?
Density depends directly upon mass. Havier gas has greater density and lighter gas has
smaller density.
