- 4. INTRODUCTION Everything started with the study of natural philosophy. Natural philosophy used to be the study of unanswered questions about nature. As more and more answers are found, natural philosophy became science. Living things science Non living things(physics) The physical sciences deal with nonliving things and branch into areas such as physics, geology, astronomy, and chemistry.
- 6. Definition: The branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics includes: -Mechanics -Heat -Light and other radiation -Sound -Electricity -Magnetism -and the structure of atoms.
- 8. Astronomy Astronomers are fascinated by studying the chemistry, mathematics and physics of celestial bodies as well as events that occur outside Earth’s atmosphere and throughout the universe. Plants, moons, stars, solar systems, galaxies and anomalies such as black holes, super novas, gamma ray bursts and solar radiation are some of the many areas of research explored by this discipline.
- 9. Astrophysics A subdivision of astronomy, astrophysics is the study of the physics of how objects interact with each other across the universe. Gravitational force, electromagnetism, particle physics, temperature, density and thermodynamics are all intertwined in how objects behave and interact with each other to allow celestial bodies to form in the complex varieties that exist today.
- 10. Atomic Physics Atomic physics studies the interaction between electrons and the nucleus of an atom. This differs from nuclear physics which is concerned with only atomic nuclei solely. Atomic models consider atoms in isolation along with how electrons are exchanged with other atoms in proximity. Configuration of the electron shell, binding energy, kinetic energy and ionization are fundamental components of this branch of physics.
- 11. Geophysics Studying the Earth’s environment including how interactions such as gravity, magnetic fields, volcanism, plate tectonics and hydrological cycles are influenced by each other and by celestial bodies is one of the many areas of expertise of a geophysicist. Observations can be made both in the field of natural sciences as well as by producing computer models to forecast predictions based on computational mathematics.
- 12. High Energy Physics High energy physics is a branch that deals with the fundamental nature of the universe which utilizes particle physics to explain the origin of rare events and anomalies that can be found in space and throughout the universe. Phenomena such as solar fusion, black holes and gamma ray bursts are investigated by physicists in this field to determine how interactions between particles can cause the release of high amounts of energy.
- 13. Nuclear Physics Nuclear physics uses the applications of the physical characteristics of the atomic nuclei to develop research into nuclear power and weapons technology. This branch of physics however is not limited to what one would imaging simply as nuclear technology but also includes a variety of other areas of exploration into magnetic resonance imaging, material engineering, geology (radio carbon dating) and medicine.

- 16. PHYSICS Contribution of Muslim scientist in science
- 17. IBNE-AL-HAITHAM(965-1039 A.D) INTRODUCTION He was born in Basra a city of Iraq. He was one of the great Muslim Scientist. He was a great scholar of physics, mathematics, engineering, astronomy and medicine.
- 18. CONTRIBUTION 1. He was a first man who discussed in detail about the luminous, non-luminous and transparent bodies. 2. He also gave the structure and working of eyes. 3. He gave us many laws of reflection and wrote many books about the reflection of light. 4. He also first time gave the idea that whenever the ray of light is incident on an object some of the incident rays are reflected from the object and enter the eyes consequently the object becomes visible to the
