  • Topic 1

    Course Rationale:

    Basic Physics is designed to introduce students to the fundamental principles that govern the natural world. This course covers essential topics such as mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and basic thermodynamics. Through a combination of theoretical instruction and practical application, students will develop a foundational understanding of physical concepts and the laws that describe the behavior of matter and energy.

    Introduction:

    Welcome to Physics: Understanding the Universe

    Physics is the foundational science that seeks to understand the natural laws governing the universe. From the motion of everyday objects to the mysteries of black holes and quantum mechanics, physics provides us with a framework to explore and comprehend the world around us.

    In this course, we will delve into the core principles that define physical reality, from classical mechanics and electromagnetism to modern physics concepts like relativity and quantum theory. Whether you're aiming to build a strong foundation for advanced scientific studies or simply looking to satisfy your curiosity about how the universe works, this course will equip you with the knowledge and problem-solving skills that are essential in both academic and real-world applications.

    As we progress, we'll not only focus on theoretical understanding but also on practical experiments and real-life applications that demonstrate the relevance of physics in technology, engineering, and beyond. By the end of this course, you'll be well-versed in the fundamental concepts of physics and prepared to apply this knowledge in various scientific and professional fields.

    Let's embark on this journey of discovery and explore the forces and phenomena that shape our world!
