Physics Branches

Physics is a broad field with many branches, each focusing on different aspects of the natural world. Here are some of the main branches of physics:

• Classical Mechanics: The study of motion and its causes, including the laws of motion and the principles of energy and momentum.
• Electromagnetism: The study of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with matter.
• Thermodynamics: The study of heat, work, and temperature, and their relation to energy and matter.
• Quantum Mechanics: The study of the behavior of particles at the smallest scales, where classical physics no longer applies.
• Relativity: The study of the relationship between space, time, and gravity, as proposed by Albert Einstein.

Quantum Mechanics

• Atomic and Molecular Physics: The study of atoms and molecules, including their structure, properties, and interactions.
• Nuclear Physics: The study of the structure and behavior of atomic nuclei, including fission and fusion.
• Particle Physics: The study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that act between them.
