Major Branches 2
Measurements
100
The branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.
What is Physics?
100
The area of physics concerned with the motions of physical objects, more specifically the relationships among force, matter, and motion.
What is Mechanics?
100
In physics, this branch can be thought of as the study of a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space-time, accompanied by a transfer of energy.
What is Vibration/Wave Phenomena?
100
This is the standard unit for measuring distance in Physics.
What is a meter?
200
This class which students are required to take for many is indispensable when learning physics.
What is Math?
200
The branch of physics that studies the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it.
What is Optics?
200
The branch of physics involving the study of the electromagnetic force, a type of physical interaction that occurs between electrically charged particles.
What is Electromagnetism?
200
This is the standard unit for measuring time in Physics.
What is a second?
300
The multistep process followed when completing an experiment.
What is the Scientific Method?
300
The branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and temperature, and their relation to energy, radiation, and physical properties of matter.
What is Thermodynamics?
300
the dependence of various physical phenomena on relative motion of the observer and the observed objects, especially regarding the nature and behavior of light, space, time, and gravity.
What is Relativity?
300
This is the standard unit for measuring mass in Physics.
What is a kilogram?
400
This is the third step of the scientific method.
What is writing a hypothesis?
400
A digital camera is an example of this branch of Physics in action.
What is Optics?
400
A train is traveling at around 30 m/s north. When the ball is hit back and forth between the two players, the ball appears to the players to move north at a speed of around 2 m/s and then south at the speed of 2 m/s. This branch observes why this is possible.
What is Relativity?
400
What measurement term comes after kilo- when counting upwards?
What is mega- ?
500
This is the last step to the scientific method.
There isn't one! It's a cycle.
500
Quantum and Classical are two types of this branch in physics.
What is Mechanics?
500
Radio waves and microwaves are two examples of this branch.
What is Electromagnetism?
500
What term comes after centi- when counting downwards?
What is milli- ?
