Physics (Ancient Greek: φύσις physis "nature") is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space-time, as well as all applicable concepts, such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy. Over the last two millennia, physics had been considered synonymous with philosophy, chemistry, and certain branches of mathematics and biology, but during the Scientific Revolution in the 16th century, it emerged to become a unique modern science in its own right. However, in some subject areas such as in mathematical physics and quantum chemistry, the boundaries of physics remain difficult to distinguish. Physics is both significant and influential, in part because advances in its understanding have often translated into new technologies, but also because new ideas in physics often resonate with other sciences, mathematics, and philosophy. For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics led directly to the development of new products which have dramatically transformed modern-day society, such as television, computers, domestic appliances, and nuclear weapons; advances in thermodynamics led to the development of motorized transport; and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus.

Constructive interference will maximize the amplitude of two waves of identical wavelength if they are offset by: wavelength/4 wavelength/2 wavelenth/pi wavelength/2pi wavelength Asked by JitterBug589 - Sun May 6 23:38:56 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The whole wavelength. Then everything will be exactly doubled. If they are offset by half the wavelength, for sinusoidal waves they will be completely cancelled out. (Results vary for other waveforms.) Answered by Scarlet Manuka - Sun May 6 23:53:35 2007 How does physics serve to improve our understanding of physical systems? Q. Want to help me out? Would be greatly appreciated. Here's all four: How does physics serve to improve our understanding of physical systems? How do the principles of physics effect your daily life? Describe something in nature that has become more compelling because of an understanding of physics principles Is it possible to describe the whole natural world (chemical and biological) with a small number of physical principles? If so, how? Is physics a redundant science? Do we now have a clear understanding of the interactions between matter and energy on all scales? Is technological application the main thrust of physics research today? Asked by Kaen - Mon Sep 29 15:58:30 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I could answer most of your questions with this: physics describes everything. It is the study of the natural world. But here goes: How does physics serve to improve our understanding of physical systems? Because physics tells us exactly what happens in these systems, it's more than just equations. Behind it all, physics can teach you everything you need to know about the system in question. How do the principles of physics effect your daily life? The most basic physical principles deal with particles and atoms and energy... that's pretty much everything in the known universe... so I think that accounts for ALL the events in your life. People underestimate how basic physics really is. All other sciences are built off of it, ALL of… [cont.] Answered by JK - Mon Sep 29 16:21:17 2008 What is the physics concept of multiple images in a mirror or computer screen?
Q. For example, if you have a webcam that is separate from your computer and you turned it so that it faced the computer, you will see on your computer screen, multiple images of the computer and cascading back. I unfortunately cannot find a photo to demonstrate what I am talking about; but can anyone explain this physics concept to me? Something about reflection? I really don't know. please hurry! Asked by rbellybo - Fri May 29 05:43:11 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. It is called Droste Effect. But that is just the name of such artistic expression. Since you post this question under the physics category, perhaps you are looking for an explanation of the effect more than just the name. Basically the effect that you see in two mirrors facing each other or when you point your web-cam towards you computer monitor is a result of a feedback loop that goes on infinitely. When you include the computer monitor in the view of the camera and then the content of the compute monitor is again feed back into the monitor again. So it is a recursive loop of input going to the output and which again feed into the input again and the loop just go infinitely until resolution of the monitor cannot show any finer… [cont.] Answered by CPL - Fri May 29 06:01:43 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "physics" Physics is the science of the natural world, which deals with the fundamental particles the universe is made of, the interactions between them, and the interactions of objects composed of them (nuclei, atoms, molecules, etc).
