    INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICS

    WEEK 1 :LESSON 1
    Physics is the branch of science which deals with matter and its
    relation to energy.
    Physics falls under a broader category of Science. Science is divided into three areas namely Biology, Physics
    and Chemistry. The main objective of these subjects is to study and try to understand the universe and
    everything in it.
    Physics as a subject is divided into six
    broad branches
    MECHANICS

    • This branch deals majorly with


    motions under the influence of
    forces. Under this branch, we
    look into details the aspects of
    linear, circular and oscillatory
    motions as well as motion of
    fluids.
    OPTICS
    • Optics is the branch of physics concerned with the nature and uses of
    light. Especially through systems made of lenses—pieces of glass or
    plastic shaped to alter the light passing through them—optics have
    made possible photography; the discovery of microorganisms through
    microscopes; the correction of some vision disorders by eyeglasses
    and contact lenses; the study of the distant universe through
    telescopes; movie and slide projection; and thousands of industrial
    processes, including the manufacture of computer microchips using
    optics to outline billions of transistors on tiny tiles of silicon. Lenses,
    mirrors, lasers, and optical fibers are used in data transmission,
    storage, and retrieval; in surgery; weapons targeting; document
    scanning and printing; and for many other purposes. Optical systems
    have been essential to scientific and technological progress.
    ELECTRICITY AND MAGNITISM

    • This branch looks


    at the interaction
    between electric
    fields and
    magnetic fields
    and the
    applications of
    such interactions.
    THERMODYNAMICS

    • This branch
    looks at how
    heat as a form
    of energy is
    transformed
    to/from other
    forms of energy.
    ATOMIC PHYSICS
    • This area of
    study is
    targeted at the
    behavior of
    particles of the
    nucleus and
    the
    accompanying
    energy
    changes.
    WAVES

    •It deals with


    the study of
    the
    propagation
    of energy
    through
    space.
    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICS
    WITH THE OTHER SUBJECTS
    • Physics does not
    only relate the
    remaining two
    science subjects
    but also enjoys
    a relationship
    with other
    subjects as well.
    PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS

    • 1.Physics relates
    strongly with
    mathematics, Many
    physics concepts are
    expressed
    mathematically.Many
    physics formulae are
    expressed
    mathematically.
    PHYSICS AND BIOLOGY
    • 2.Knowledge of lenses
    in physics is used in
    making microscope
    used in study of cells
    in biology. Physics
    formulae are used in
    calculation of
    magnification by
    microscopes.The
    knowledge of levers
    helps to explain
    locomotion in Biology.
    PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY
    • 3.Physics has helped
    in explaining forces
    within atoms and
    therefore atomic
    structure. It is this
    structure of the atom
    that then determines
    the reactivity of the
    atom as explained in
    chemistry.
