WHAT IS  SCIENCE  & PHYSICS?

                                   Broadly speaking,  physics  is  a  branch  of  science which deals  with  the  study of the phenomena of nature.   The word  'physics'  derived from  a  Greek word meaning nature.  The  word   'science'  comes from the Latin word 'Scientia' which means 'to know'.   Man  has  been observing various natural phenomena from the time immemorial.  He has always been curious about nature and the world around him. The motion of the  moon  and  other heavenly bodies in the sky has aroused  awe and amazement in him.   The regular  repetition  of  sunrise and  sunset  and  the  seasons of the  year have fascinated  him.  Man  has observed  these  and  other  natural  phenomena  and  responded  to them  in  an  orderly manner. The  experiences  gained  over  a  period  of  time  were  transmitted  from generation  to  generation and began to be termed as 'knowledge'.  Each generation added new  facts  to  the knowledge obtained  from  previous generation.  The systematized  knowledge  thus gained was   termed 'Science'.                             

                                      Physics is a branch of science that deals with the study of the  phenomena  of  nature.  The  Scientific method used in the study of sciences involves observation,  proposal  of  a  theory,  testing  the consequences of the  proposed theory and modification or refinement of the theory in the light of new facts.  The applications of  physics  have played a very great role  in  technology  and in our daily lives.  In this view we have so many models are exibited in  Balayogi Science Park. They have of various branches in Physics as specifed below.

 

OPTICS

                             The subject of  Optics  has been divided into  Two branches namely ray optics and Wave optics. Ray optics deals  with  the  information  of images  in  mirrors  and  lenses,  the  aberrations  of  optical  images  and  the  working  and  designing of optical  instruments.  Ray  optics is based on the  laws  of   rectilinear   propagation, reflection and refraction  of  light and the knowledge of geometry of straight lines.

                          During the first decade of the 19th Century, some more facts about light were discovered. In 1801, Thomas Yound demonstrated   interference  between  two beams  of  light,  in 1808, Malus discovered that the light reflected  from a glass was Polarized.   Grimaldi   in  1665  had  already  discovered   diffraction  of  light.   These  aspects  of  the  behaviour  of  light  i.e., Interference,  diffraction  and  Polarization are explained with  the 3-d  models, painting and selef Explanatory charts and also provided to Make your self Kits for some applications also.

                         The  straight-line path of  light when  it travels from one point to another is called a ray of light.  Rayoptics, therefore,  used  the  geometry  of  stright lines to discuss  the  reflection  of  light  from spherical mirrors and  refraction  of  light through Prisms and spherical surfaces such as lenses.  These  simple  devices from  important  components  of  optical  instruments  such as cameras, telescopes and mircroscopes.

ELECTRO MAGNETISM

                                      The  Science  of   electricity  evolved  from  the  observation  of  the  Greek Philosopher,  Thales,  in the Sixth Century BC,  that a rubbed piece of amber will attract pieces of straw.  The  Science of magnetism goes back to the observation  that  naturally  occurring   "stones"   will  attract  iron.   The   two  sciences  developmed   independently   until  1820,  when  Hans Christian  Oersted  discovered  the   connection  between  them.  He  showed  that  a  curent in a wire  can  also  produce magnetic efects, namely, that it can change the orientation of compass needle. This gave birth of a new Science, electromagnetism, which was further  developed  by many  workers;  the  most  notable  contribution  coming from  Michael Faraday   and James Clerk Maxwell. Oersted's experiment such as compass needle. Faraday argued that from Newton's thrid law, the  reverse  should also be true, i.e.,  the  magnet should also expert an equal and  opposite  force  on the  wire carrying current.   It  was  Maxwell  who  put  the  laws  of  electro-magnetism in the form a set of simple equations, called Maxwell's equations that describe the behaviour of the electric and magnetic fields.

SEMI CONDUCTOR PHYSICS

                          Materials having a small band gap between the valence and conduction bands are behave as Semiconductors. Semiconductors have a wide range of practical applications as diodes,  transistors, etc.,  and  in  a  number  of semiconductor devices.  The fabrication of digital computers is the mostly rapidly developing area of electronics.  The basic function is these  computers are performed by a combination of circuits involving semiconductor devices.

PLANETARY PHYSICS

                      The  branch  of  Science  that deals with the Study of te Universe called as Astronomy and also called as Planet Physics.  Astronomy is an observational Science.  The devices that an astronomer user for this study include otical telescopes, radio telescopes,  spacetrographs,  photographic plates, space probes etc.   This Science  deals  with the Origin, structure and evoluation of the Universe is called Cosmology. The measurement of the red shift of spectral lines suggest that the universe is expanding.  Three  theories  have  been  proposed to account for the origin and evolution of the Universe. They  are big band theory, the   steady  state  theory and pulsating theory. The red shift observed for quasars and the other observations tend to favour the bing bang theory.

CONVENTIONAL & NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGIES

Energy can be defined as the capacity or ability to do work and is measured by the amount of work a body can do. So, energy is measured in the same units as work, namely, jould. Energy is a  Scalar Quantity.  Energy can exists in various forms,  such as heat energy,  electrical energy, sound energy, light energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, mechanical  energy etc. Mainly we can be considered with mechanical energy is of two types Kinetic and Potential. these are also to be called as conventional and non conventional Energies .

INSTRUMENTATION

                           Physics is a Science of measurement. Alll quantities which can be measured either indirectly or directly such as length, mass, time force, temparature, light intensity, electric current, etc. are called physical quantities. Of numerous such quantities, length, mass and time are regarded as fundamental quantities.  The measurement  of these  quantities involves the choice of a unit. The internationally accepted units of length, mass and time respectively are metre, kilogram and second. The Units of all other mechanical quantities are derived from three basic units. These quantities are measured by direct and indirect methods. The measured values of these quantities show a very wide range of variation.
