    WHAT IS PHYSICS
    Branch of science which studies physical and natural phenomena around us. Knowledge of physics can help us understand natural phenomena such as formation of rainbows, the solar eclipse, the causes of sunset and sun rise, the reason for the blue colour of the sky, etc.

    WHAT IS PHYSICS

    electronics

    Study of electronic chips And computer system

    Propeties of matter

    Study the strength of a substance

    CONCEPT OF PHYSICS

    Principle and teory of physics explain


    - how the phenomena accurs and why it accurs in that way - understanding their applications

    A concept of physics is produced through the scientific method of investigation The formation of a concept of physics involves the following steps and stages.

    1. Observation (Use the senses to feel the daily phenomenon)

    CONCEPT OF PHYSICS

    2. Experiment
    ( Perform an experiment to study the required characteristic of th phenomenon)

    3. Theory ( Suggest the cause of the phenomenon studied through the experiment) 4. Further investigation ( Sugest measurements for the theory and modify it if necessary) 5. Application ( Invention of technology based on the theories of physics)

    Study of Physics - Scientific method


    Observation Identify a question Make inference Formulate hypothesis Plan and carry out experiment Measurement and data collecting Analyse data Make conclusion Hypothesis is proved/fails If hyptotesis fails and is unacceptable, suggest a new hypothesis If the theory is test several times and the same result is obtained, the theory then becomes a prinsiple of science.
