Topics to be discussed
• What is Science ?
• Scientific method.
• What is Physics ?
• Scope and excitement of Physics.
• Physics, Technology and Society.
• Fundamental forces in nature
• Nature of Physics laws.
• The word science is originated from a Latin
word scientia which means ‘to know’.
• The sciences which deal with non-living
things are called physical sciences.
Examples of physical sciences are physics,
chemistry, geography, astronomy and
oceanology
• The sciences which deal with living things
are called biological sciences . Examples
are zoology, botany…….

❖The word Physics comes from a Greek word Phusis meaning NATURE.
❖ Its Sanskrit equivalent is Bhautiki that is used to refer to the study of the
physical world.
❖Physics deals with certain basic rules/laws governing the natural world .
UNIFICATION REDUCTION
An attempt to explain diverse physical An attempt to derive the properties of
phenomena in terms of few concepts and laws a bigger, more complex system from
is called unification the properties and interaction of its
For example, fall of an apple and motion of constituent simpler parts is called
planets around the sun ,both the phenomena reductionalism
can be explained by a single law given by
Newton – The universal law of gravitation.
SCOPE OF PHYSICS
Macroscopic Microscopic
Macroscopic Phenomena are the Microscopic Phenomena are the
phenomena which take place at phenomena which take place at molecular,
laboratory, terrestrial or astronomical atomic and nuclear level
scales.
Classical Physics Modern Physics
Usually classical physics refers to pre- This domain of physics refers to post-
1900 physics 1900 physics
Classical Physics
Classical Physics deals mainly with macroscopic
phenomena and includes following sub disciplines
1…Mechanics
2…Electrodynamics
3…Optics
4…Thermodynamics
Mechanics
Branch of Classical Physics which deals with the motion and forces on bodies and
founded on Newton's laws of motion and law of gravitation.
Optics
Optics deals with various phenomena associated with light. For ex- reflection,
refraction, interference, diffraction and polarization.
Electrodynamics
This branch deals with electric and magnetic phenomena associated with charged
and magnetic bodies. Electrodynamics is largely based on laws given by Coulomb,
Oersted, Ampere and Faraday. In fact everything can be unified in terms of Maxwell's
equations
Thermodynamics
It deals with changes in internal energy, temperature, entropy through external work
and transfer of heat.
Modern Physics
Modern Physics refers to post-1900 physics and includes following
sub-disciplines:
Very short(∼10¯¹⁶)
Strong nuclear force 1 Nucleons
Nature of Physical Laws
In any physical phenomenon governed by different forces several quantities may change
with time though there are some special physical quantities which remain constant in time.
These quantities are called conserved quantities of nature.
There are various conservation laws in physics:
