Physics is a science that was already involved in many different
subjects. But because of the tremendous revolutions in relativity and
quantum physics that occured around 1890, it as decie to divide physics
into the following two classed:
1. CLASSICAL PHYSICS (PRE- 1890)
2. MODERN PHYSICS
1. Classical Physics (PRE- 1890)
It is Concerned largely with macroscopic bodies, that is, with those phenomena in which the objects involved are large and can be seen with the naked eye. It includes the following subjects:
Its is concerned with the submicroscopic world, that is, with those phenomena in which the structure and the behavior of individual atoms and molecules are of prime importance. It includes the following subjects:
