Physics Physics is the study of the basic characteristics of matter and its interactions. Physics can be divided into classical physics and modern physics. Classical Physics: Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Optics. Modern Physics: Atomic physics, Nuclear Physics, Particle physics, and Condensed-Matter physics.

Why are measurements so important?

Why study everyday phenomena?

Units: Metric and British

Scientific Notation and Metric Prefixes What is the speed of sound and light? Speed of sound in air (at 20 0 C) = 343 m/s or 767 MPH Speed of light = m/s Mean Earth-Sun Distance = m. How much time it take for the sunlight to reach earth?
