Write a note on scope of physics.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Discoveries in physics are of two types, accidental discoveries and well-analysed research outcome in the laboratory based on intuitive thinking and prediction.
(ii) For example, the famous equation of Albert Einstein, `E=mc^(2)` was a theoretical prediction in 1905 and experimentally proved in 1932 by Cockeroft and Walton.
(iii) This technique was used by the pharmaceutical industry very effectively to design new drugs. Bio compatible materials for organ replacement are predicted using quantum prescriptions of physics before fabrication.
(iv) In Physics we have accidental discoveries and well-analysed research outcome in the laboratories. For instance, analysis of the behaviour magnets lead to so many technological applications.
Theoretical predictions contributed the developments in technology and medicine. For example the most famous theoretical prediction is Einstein’s mass-energy relation `E= mc^(2)` ?. Theoretical predictions are widely used to identify suitable materials for so many applications like manufacture of magnetic tapes, memory storage in computers and robust applications.
