What are major branches of physics?

Answer 1

• Astrophysics
• Atomic physics
• Biophysics
• Chemical Physics
• Classical Physics
• Condensed matter physics
• Molecular physics
• Nuclear Physics
• Optical Physics
• Particle Physics
• Quantum Physics
• Thermodynamics

Answer 2

There are six:

1. Classical Mechanics

(Physics of "large" objects - anything larger than microscopic)

2. Electromagnetism

(Physics of electromagnetic fields and their effect on particles)

3. Thermodynamics

(Physics of energy transfer)

4. Statistical Mechanics

(An application of Probability Theory - relates processes involving large numbers

of particles or impossible (or difficult) to track particles.)

5. Quantum Mechanics

(Physics of the ultra small - atomic and subatomic realms, where particles

may behave as waves or vice-versa)

6. Relativity

(Relates Gravitation, Time, Gravitation)

Answer 3

the branches of physics are

* Astrophysics

Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of the universe, including the physical properties (luminosity, density, temperature and chemical composition) of astronomical objects such as stars, galaxies, and the interstellar medium, as well as their interactions. * Atomic and molecular physics

The study of the structure and characteristics of atoms and molecules. * Biophysics

The science of the application of the laws of physics to life processes. * Condensed-matter (solid-state) physics

The study of the physical properties of solids, such as electrical, dielectric, elastic, and thermal properties, and their understanding in terms of fundamental physical laws. * Cosmology

The study of the universe as a whole, of the contents, structure, and evolution of the universe from the beginning of time to the future. * Geophysics

the study of the physical characteristics and properties of the earth; including geodesy, seismology, meteorology, oceanography, atmospheric electricity, terrestrial magnetism, and tidal phenomena. * Mechanics

the branch of physics concerned with the motion of bodies in a frame of reference. * Statistical Mechanics

The discipline that attempts to relate the properties of macroscopic systems to their atomic and molecular constituents. * Theoretical physics

Theoretical physics attempts to understand the world by making a model of reality, used for rationalizing, explaining, and predicting physical phenomena through a "physical theory". * Thermodynamics

The study of the effects of changes in temperature, pressure, and volume on physical systems at the macroscopic scale by analyzing the collective motion of their particles using statistics.

Answer 4

There are a lot more than four.

Classical Mechanics
Relativity
Quantum mechanics
Thermodynamics
Fluid mechanics
Astrophysics
Cosmology
Geophysics
Solid state
Low-temperature
Plasma and Fusion

And dozens more. If its for school i'd say grab the first 4, or say something about experimental, and theoretical.

Then tell your teacher s/he is an idiot.

Answer 5

Classical physics(Newtonian physics) and modern physics(relativity and quantum physics)

Answer 6

astronomy, Biology, chemistry, goegoly, physics, oceanography,& earth scaience
