This video explains the branches of physics. It is mainly classifieds in to two types. Classical and modern.
Classical Physics refers to traditional physics that was recognized and developed before the beginning of the 20th century.
Classical mechanics is the study of forces acting on bodies whether at rest or in motion.
Thermodynamics is the study of the relationship between heat and other forms of energy.
Optics is the study of light.
Electricity and magnetism is the study of electricity and magnetism and their mutual relationship.
Acoustics is the study of the production and propagation of sound waves.
Astrophysics is the branch of physics which deals with the study of the physics of astronomical bodies.
Relativity the branches of theoretical physics which deals with
the relationship between space, time and energy particularly
with objects moving in different ways.
Modern Physics refers to the concepts in physics that have surfaced since the beginning of the 20th century.
Quantum mechanics is the study of the discrete nature of phenomena at the atomic and subatomic levels
Atomic physics is the branch of physics which deals with the structure and properties of the atom
Nuclear physics is the branch of physics which deals with the structure, properties and reaction of the nuclei of atoms.
Condensed matter physics is the study of the properties of condensed materials (solids, liquids and those intermediate between them and dense gas). It branches into various sub-divisions including developing fields such as nano science, photonics etc. It covers the basics of materials science, which aims at developing new material with better properties for promising applications.
High energy physics is the study of the nature of the particles.
