Introduction to General Physics

Physics - is a branch of science which deals with the study of matter, energy and its interaction.

Domains or Fields of Study


Mechanics a domain of Physics which deals mainly on the study of forces and motion. Properties of Matter entails explanation dealing with the Physical properties and characteristics of matter in general. Heat and Thermodynamics deals with the study of heat energy, thermal energy, internal energy and other Laws and Theories covered by this domain. Electricity and Magnetism it covers explanations dealing with electrical and magnetic phenomena including the relationship existing between electricity and magnestism.

Wave and Optics deals with the study of the different types of waves such as Mechanical, Light and Sound waves. Properties and Characteristics of these types of waves were also given emphasis. Nuclear Physics this domain focus more in the investigation of the central core of an atom known as the Nucleus. Series of explanations will be given to show the posime and even the detrimental benefits of the harnessing of nuclear energy.
