physics

the discipline of science that is directly concerned with the fundamental laws of nature

physike

meaning "nature"

classical mechanics

aka newtonian physics, the study of motion of objects and the forces acting on them

electromagnetism

study of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with matter

thermodynamics

provides the principles governing energy exchanges, including the transfer of heat and the conversion of energy

quantum mechanics

study of particles in the smallest scales where classical mechanics no longer applies

optics

the study of light and its interactions with matter

acoustics

the study of sound and its propagation through different mediums

fluid mechanics

study of fluids and the forces acting on them

nuclear physics

the study of atomic nuclei, nuclear reactions, and radioactive energy

relativity

refers to a theory in physics that describes the relationship between space, time, and motion

james clark maxwell

equations describes the relationship between the electric field and the magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave

isaac newton

classical father of physics, laws of motion, invention of calculus, theory of gravitation

albert einstein

modern father of physics, developed the theory of general and special relativity, formulated the relationship between energy and mass (e=mc²)

michael faraday

electromagnetism induction; law of induction

niels bohr

developed the bohr model

werner heisenberg

uncertainty principle

marie curie

research on radioactivity, won 2 nobel prizes, discovered radium and polonium
