Mechanics The branch of Physics that is concerned with the analysis of the action of forces on matter or material systems.

The study of the behavior of physical systems in terms of their position in space, under the action of external forces which may be equal of different from zero. Atomic Physics
The branch of physics that studies the internal structure of atomic nuclei

Thermodynamics The branch of Physics that deals with the relationships and conversions between heat and other forms of energy. Electromagnetism The branch of physics concerned with magnetism produced by electric currents and with the interaction of electric and magnetic fields Hydrostatics / Hydrodynamics The study of the mechanical behavior of fluids and of solid bodies immersed ( ) in fluids, which are in static equilibrium or in motion relative to them. Molecular Physics Not to be confused with Atomic Physics, molecular physics deals with entire molecules and the atoms that form them. By learning how to manipulate the elements, we can create new types of substances, ranging from durable metals to plastics and gels, that get used in many different industries. Nuclear Physics The study of the properties of atomic nuclei. The study of the structure of atomic nuclei and the forces responsible for the stability or the disintegration of atomic nuclei. Optics The study of light and vision. The study of the phenomena associated with generation, transmission and detection of electromagnetic radiation, from the short wave length edge of radio waves (1 mm) to the long wave length edge of X-ray (1 nm). The study of waves associated with particles, i.e. electron optics, neutron optics, etc. Particle Physics The study of the structure, properties and interactions of elementary particles. Solid State Physics The study of the structure and properties of materials in solid phase. Quantum Mechanics A theory of matter based on the idea that material particles may be described as waves, and waves may be described as particles.

Space Physics The study of planetary and interplanetary magnetized plasmas. The study of the energy flow from the sun through the solar wind and into terrestrial and planetary magnetospheres, both induced ( ) and intrinsic ( ,)and how this energy is dissipated(To separate into parts and disappea) within these magnetospheres.

Geophysics The physics of the earth and its environment, including the physics of fields such as meteorology, oceanography, and seismology. Superconductivity The study of phenomenon, exhibited by various metals, alloys, and compounds, of conducting electrical current without resistance when cooled to low temperatures is called conductivity. Superfluidity Phenomena by which, at sufficiently low temperatures, a fluid can flow with zero viscosity( .) Its causes are associated with superconductivity. Special Relativity The Study based upon Einstein theory of relativity based on the assumption( ) that the speed of light in a vacuum is a constant and the assumption that the laws of physics are invariant in all inertial systems General Relativity The geometric theory of gravitation developed by Albert Einstein, incorporating ( ) and extending the theory of special relativity to accelerated frames of reference and introducing the principle that gravitational and inertial forces are equivalent. Sound It is a study of mechanical wave that is an oscillation( ) of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing and of a level sufficiently strong to be heard, or the sensation stimulated( ) in organs of hearing by such vibrations.
