PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS:
Physics is the most basic fundamental science that inculcates analytical thinking. A thorough
understanding of the physical concepts enables a great foundation in Engineering, Medicine, Computer
Science, Astronomy etc. Many of the technologies developed in the present day world can be traced back
to Physics and Physicists. Theories of Physics allow us to conceptualize the working of the fundamental of
engineering systems with deeper understanding. Physics is thus undoubtedly relevant to the technology
and the society today.
