Here are the primary branches of physics:
Classical Mechanics: Studies the motion of macroscopic objects and forces acting on them (e.g., kinematics, dynamics, statics).
Thermodynamics: Investigates heat, temperature, energy transfer, and the relationship between work and energy.
Electromagnetism: Analyzes electric and magnetic fields, charges in motion or at rest, and their interactions.
Optics: Studies the properties, behavior, and propagation of light.
Quantum Mechanics: Deals with the behavior of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic scales.
Relativity: Examines mechanics at high speeds (near light speed) and the relationship between space, time, and gravity, formulated by Einstein.
Atomic & Nuclear Physics: Focuses on the structure of the atom and the behavior of the atomic nucleus, including radioactivity.
Condensed Matter Physics: Investigates the properties of solid and liquid matter, such as conductivity.
Astrophysics & Cosmology: Studies the physical properties of astronomical objects and the universe’s origin and evolution.
Plasma Physics: Examines highly ionized gases.
