Program Summary
Physics is a branch of science that explores the fundamental principles governing the universe, from the smallest subatomic particles to the vast expanses of space. It seeks to understand the nature of matter, energy, motion, and forces through observation, experimentation, and mathematical modeling. The course covers a wide range of topics, including classical mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, quantum mechanics, and relativity. Students learn how to analyze physical phenomena, develop problem-solving skills, and apply mathematical concepts to describe natural laws. Physics plays a crucial role in many fields, including engineering, astronomy, medicine, and technology, making it a foundational subject for scientific and technical advancements. The study of physics often involves both theoretical concepts and practical experiments, allowing students to test hypotheses and refine their understanding of physical laws. Whether focusing on everyday occurrences or deep cosmic mysteries, physics provides a framework for explaining and predicting how the world works.
