The development of the steam engine in the 18th century ushered in the Industrial Revolution. James Watt improved the steam engine's design and efficiency, allowing it to power factories. This led to increased mechanization and the growth of factories. Advances like the electric motor and internal combustion engine further industrialized production. In the 20th century, developments in physics research led to new technologies like computers, transistors, integrated circuits, lasers, and fiber optics, ushering in the Information Age and powering new technological advancements.
1d physics (discoveries)
- 1. The World of PHYSICS… *The Steam Engine and the Industrial RevolutionThe development of steam engine ushered in automation. Although machine before this period helped man a great deal, you still nee man to work with the machine; like “you have to pull the pulley, spin the gears, etc.” The steam engine allowed a person to generate power whenever or whatever is it needed. Although this existed even
- 2. The World of PHYSICS… *The Steam Engine and the Industrial Revolution…James Watt changed that with his development of the modern steam engine and patented it in 1769. From Watt’s design, several other steam engines become more efficient, especially when Arthur Woolf built the first compound steam engine for industrial uses. After then, steam engine has the
- 3. The World of PHYSICS… *The Steam Engine and the Industrial Revolution… From the steam engine, other types of engines came out. Through it all, there came electricity, electric motors, factories, and different designs of automobiles. The Industrial Revolution is at its peak.
- 4. The World of PHYSICS… *Computers and the Information RevolutionMany scientist agree that the invention of computer in 20th century is the Information Revolution (IR). Although computer scientists and engineers can be seen at the forefront developing new computer software and hardware, all those internal components that make up computers were still developed by physicists. Information retrieval has become much
- 5. The World of PHYSICS… *The Discovery of Transistor… The electronic components during the 1940s were based on vacuum tubes. Because of their size and large power consumptions, the first computers were big, bulky and inefficient. The quest for miniaturization started with the development of transistors in 1948 at Bell Laboratories by American physicists Walter Houser
- 6. The World of PHYSICS… Due to fast developments and discoveries, miniaturized radios were developed. This radio was also known as “transistor radio” which was derived from its component which are transistor package. After transistors, more semi-conductors were discovered and developed. Years later, IC package were invented and studied. This was known as integrated circuits (IC), which later has made a long
- 7. The World of PHYSICS… TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND ADVANCEMENTS.Physics as pioneer science has become the spearhead looking into different possibilities of discovering and developing new things for human convenience and consumptions. These researches and discoveries has lead to several high-technology gadgets and equipments which in the past are just fruits of human imaginations and dreams.
- 8. The World of PHYSICS… TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND ADVANCEMENTS. Laser is a device that produces and amplifies light. The word LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser light is very pure in color, can be extremely intense, and can be directed with great
