From the following article write: –3 things you found interesting and why. –2 careers you might be interested in and why. –1 career you never thought would involve physics

Music and Television Whether you want to be in front of the camera or work behind the scenes, understanding physics is useful for many careers in television and music. From the sound engineer who controls the mix at a music concert to the special effects technician working on the latest action movie, many of the people that work in the media industry need physics know-how.

Medicine Whether you want to be a nurse, a surgeon or medical physicist - understanding physics is important if you want to work in modern medicine. Physics has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of illness. Surgery is now routinely carried out using lasers, cancer is treated using radiation and the inside of our bodies are imaged using X-rays, ultrasound, NMR and PET scans. And, new techniques, such as using nanobots to target individual cancer cells or using infrared light to monitor our blood, are continuously being developed.infrared light to monitor our blood

Law and Finance The link between physics and jobs in law or finance may not be obvious, but many people with a physics background work in these areas. In finance, it is a physicist's ability to model complex systems that is particularly valued; billions of dollars rest on predicting the future behavior of global markets. A physics education is also important to law - forensics requires a detailed understanding of how objects move and the forces involved when analyzing the scene of a crime or accident. Patent lawyers on the other hand need to understand new technology in order to effectively protect new inventions.

Communication If you are interested in using quantum physics to encrypt secret messages, inventing the device that will replace the mobile phone or new technology to make the internet faster, then perhaps a career in communication technology is for you. We now live in the 'information age' - physicists and engineers have allowed us to build a world connected by millions of miles of optical fibers, and one in which we can keep in contact using everything from text message to twitter. If you want to shape the communication technology of tomorrow, keep in touch with physics.optical fibers

Architecture and Civil Engineering If you want to design buildings or structures for a living, a sound knowledge of physics won't go amiss. After taking physics at school or college you can then train to become an Architect or a Civil Engineer. Architects design all sorts of buildings, everything from schools to skyscrapers. Civil engineers build the other structures that are vital for modern society - such as bridges, dams and tunnels.

Sports and Games If you want a career in which you design the technology that helps us play and compete, physics will start you on the right track. Physics is behind so much of the technology in sports and games; everyone from the designer trying to build a better bike for the Tour-de France to the games programmer trying to build a more realistic computer games needs physics.
