The Branches of modern physics are mainly 2.
1)Quantam Physics
2)Relativity
There is also classical physics. as a bonus the branches of classical physics is mainly.
1) Mechanics
2) Electromagnetism
3) Thermodynamics.
P.S. In both modern and classical physics there are more than those branches given but these are like the main ones.
There are seven branches of modern physics. These branches are quantum physics, relativistic physics, low-temperature physics, condensed matter physics, atomic and nuclear physics, solid-state physics, and plasma physics.
Classical: Optics, Mechanics, Wave Physics, Electrodynamics/Magnetism, Thermal, Electricity.
Special and General Relativity can fall into both depending on the depth you go into... this can be said for many of the different branches though
However many of these have cross-overs, i.e. Quantum Electrodynamics - See work by Feynman, Quantum Optics etc
Modern Physics is more hazy... Particle, nuclear, atomic, Quantum.
The definition of modern physics could be generalized to anything that involves the quantization of energy (lumps of energy, rather than continuous). Many problems in modern physics are more accurate (not perfect) descriptions of classical things. For example, Newtons laws of motion work in everyday use, but when you get to about 5% of the speed of light the relativistic effects come into play. So although the Newtonian stuff is an approximation it works very well as long as the velocity is much less than c.
Good examples of the segregation of modern and classical physics are things like the photoelectric effect (Einstein's nobel prize winning work) which shows how light must be a particle.
Also, Young's' Double Slit experiment shows how light is a wave..
Hence, Wave-Particle Duality purposed in De Broglies (ridiculously short PhD thesis. )
The main branches of physics are:
1. Mechanics : It deals with the motion of objects (point or objects with small masses)
2. Optics : It deals with the formation of images using mirrors and lenses
3. Electrodynamics and Magnetism : It deals with the study of charged particles and their magnetic behavior
4. Modern and Nuclear Physics(Quantum Physics) : It deals with atomic collisions and nuclear fission/fusion and photoelectric effect.
5. Thermodynamics : It deals with heat transfer and engines.
branches of modern physics are the following :) :electromagnetism :relativity :thermodynamics :astronomy :photoelectric effect :))
The 5 branches of modern physics are astronomy, electromagnetism, quantum, thermodynamics, and astro. You can find more information in your local library.
give me at least 5 branches of physics
The major Branches of physics are as below : Acoustics: deals with sound. Astrophysics: space and extraterrestrial studies. Atomic physics: study of atoms. bio physics: applications of rules of physics.
Physics is the "mother" of the other branches of science.

There are two main branches of pure physics. These are quantum physics and applied physics and they both focus on different aspects of physics.

The main branches of classical physics include: Classical Mechanics Electromagnetism Classical Optics Thermodynamics Fluid mechanics In modern physics, there are a lot of different fields of study including: The Special Theory of Relativity The General Theory of Relativity Quantum Mechanics. Nuclear Particle Physics Solid state physics, incuding semiconductors. Statistical thermodynamics Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) In Modern Physics, optics and electricity & magnetism have been unified, especially through the use of Special Relativity. [Three of the most important fields of Modern Physics had been left out. I have put them first , second, and third on the list. By definition, these are Modern Physics because they are products of the 20th century. Also, some very important parts of Classical Physics had been left out, such as fluid mechanics.]
