Waves transport energy without the movement of matter. a. Mechanical Waves b. Sound

Fluid mechanics is the study of how liquids and gases behave when at rest or in motion. a. Fluid Statics b. Fluid Dynamics

Optics is the study of light and its behavior when it interacts with different materials. a. Reflection and Refraction b. Lenses and Mirrors c. Wave Optics

Electromagnetism is the study of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with matter. a. Electrostatics b. Electric Fields and Potentials c. Magnetism d. Maxwell’s Equations The set of four equations that describe how electric and magnetic fields interact. These equations are central to classical electromagnetism and include: e. Electromagnetic Waves

Thermodynamics studies heat and temperature and their relationship to energy, work, and the properties of matter. a. Laws of Thermodynamics b. Heat and Temperature c. Heat Engines

Mechanics is the study of motion and forces. It forms the foundation of classical physics and can be divided into: a. Kinematics Kinematics focuses on describing motion without considering the forces that cause it. Key concepts include: b. Dynamics Dynamics deals with the forces and torques that cause motion. Key concepts include: c. Work, Energy,…

Classical physics is one of the most popular fields of physics. It is largely concerned with several laws of motion and gravitation. These hypotheses were developed by Sir Isaac Newton and James Clark. The two theories are Maxwell’s kinetic theory and thermodynamic theory. The study of matter and energy is the subject of this branch…
