Physics and Its Branches

Physics:Physics is derived from ancient Greek word ‘physicos’ meaning knowledge of nature. Physics is the branch of science which observes the nature represents it mathematically and conclude with the experiment. It basically deals with the behavior and structure of matter and the energy that derives the matter.

Branches of physics:

The main branches of Physics are as follows.

·         Mechanics:

This branch of physics is mainly concerned with the laws of motion and gravitation.

·         Thermodynamics:

Thermodynamics deals with study of heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.

·         Electricity:

Electricity is the study of properties of charges in rest and motion.

·         Magnetism:

Magnetism is the study of magnetic properties of materials.

·         Atomic physics :

Atomic physics deals with the composition structure and properties of the atom.

·         Optics:

Optics studies physical aspects of light and its properties with the help of optical instruments.

·         Sound:

Sound is the study of production, properties and applications of sound waves.

·         Nuclear physics:

Nuclear physics deals with the constituents, Structure, behavior and interactions of atomic nuclei.

·         Particle physics:

Particle Physics studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interaction between them.

Data Communication and Computer Networks Q#1: List the properties of a good communication system. Explain any one.    Ans:    1. Delivery   2. Accuracy   3. Timelines   4. Jitter  Accuracy: The system must deliver the data accurately. Data that has been altered during transmission and left uncorrected is not useful.  Q#2: Why OSI model is broken up in layers?  Ans: The OSI model is conceptual. It is broken up into layers so a person can visualize network communications and steps a computer takes when it encapsulates data from the application to the medium.  Q#3: Explain the purpose of Standard Organization.  Ans: Standard Organization develops, coordinates, revises, amends and reissues technical standards. These standards are intended to address the requirements of a group of concerned devices. There are several organizations working on standardization of computing equipment. IEEE, IETF, ITU and ANSI are ...
