This document discusses the various branches of physics. It begins by stating that classical physics is mainly concerned with energy and matter, with traditional branches being optics, acoustics, electromagnetics, and classical mechanics. It then lists some of the main branches of physics, including mechanics, optics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, relativity, and acoustics. For each branch, it provides a brief 1-2 sentence definition of what the branch involves, such as mechanics dealing with motion and forces or optics concerning light behavior and properties.

- 2. Branches Of Physics Physics can be classified into various branches but classical physics is mainly concerned with energy and matter. The traditional branches of classical physics are Optics, Acoustics, Electromagnetics, and Classical mechanics. With the rapid development of physics, the scope of the subject is growing so large that it is not possible to cover physics under the above branches. A number of main branches of physics are discussed in the Next slides 6/26/2020Lectured BY ; Rana Saifullah Khalid visit our youtube channel : SRTaleem
- 3. Branches Of Physics Mechanics Mechanics is the branch of physics which deals with the motion of an object without or with the reference of force. Mechanics can be further divided into two branches namely quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. Quantum mechanics deals with the behavior of smallest particles like neutrons, protons, and electrons, while classical mechanics is the branch that deals with laws of motion of forces and physical objects 6/26/2020Lectured BY ; Rana Saifullah Khalid visit our youtube channel : SRTaleem
- 4. Branches Of Physics Optics This branch of physics deals with the behavior, propagation, and properties of light. Optics can be simply described as the study of the behavior of infrared light, visible light, and ultraviolet. 6/26/2020Lectured BY ; Rana Saifullah Khalid visit our youtube channel : SRTaleem
- 5. Branches Of Physics Optics The properties of optics are applied in various fields of Physics- The refraction phenomenon is applied in the case of lenses (Convex and concave) for the purpose of forming an image of the object. Geometrical optics is used in studies of how the images form in an optical system. In medical applications, it is used in the optical diagnosis of the mysteries of the human body. It is used in the therapeutical and surgeries of the human tissues. 6/26/2020Lectured BY ; Rana Saifullah Khalid visit our youtube channel : SRTaleem
- 6. Branches Of Physics Thermodynamics Thermodynamics deals with the study of heat and its relation with work and energy. Thermodynamics also deals with the transmission of heat energy by means of convection, conduction, and radiation. 6/26/2020Lectured BY ; Rana Saifullah Khalid visit our youtube channel : SRTaleem
- 7. Branches Of Physics Thermodynamics There are four laws of thermodynamics and are given below: Zeroth law of thermodynamics First law of thermodynamics Second law of thermodynamics Third law of thermodynamics 6/26/2020Lectured BY ; Rana Saifullah Khalid visit our youtube channel : SRTaleem
- 8. Branches Of Physics Electromagnetism Electromagnetism deals with the study of electromagnetic force like electric fields, light, magnetic fields, etc. there are two aspects of electromagnetism which are electricity and magnetism 6/26/2020Lectured BY ; Rana Saifullah Khalid visit our youtube channel : SRTaleem
- 9. Branches Of Physics Electromagnetism A few applications of electromagnetism are: Electromagnetism serves as a fundamental working principle for many of the home appliances in household applications. The Maglev trains or high-speed trains work on the principle of electromagnetism. Electromagnetic radiations are used in the communication system to transfer data from the source to the receiver In industries, starting from small instruments to large power equipment, electromagnetism is used at least at one stage of their working. 6/26/2020Lectured BY ; Rana Saifullah Khalid visit our youtube channel : SRTaleem
- 10. Branches Of Physics Relativity This branch of physics deals with the theorem that was formulated by Albert Einstein. The theory of relativity states that space and time are relative and all the motion must be relative to a frame of reference. 6/26/2020Lectured BY ; Rana Saifullah Khalid visit our youtube channel : SRTaleem
- 11. Branches Of Physics Acoustic Acoustic deals with the study of sound and its transmission, production, and effects. Acoustics mainly involves the mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids which includes vibration, sound, ultrasound, and infrasound 6/26/2020Lectured BY ; Rana Saifullah Khalid visit our youtube channel : SRTaleem
