It starts with the units and dimensions, errors and approximations, scalars and vectors, addition and product of vectors. Mechanics is covered where both statics and dynamics are presented and discussed. Newton’s laws of motion and Newton’s law of gravitation are described with examples followed by Hydrostatics, Surface tension, Hydrodynamics and viscosity, Heat and thermometry, Geometrical optics, Magnetism and electricity, Electrostatics and current electricity. The atomic theory, particles, radiation etc. are covered under the topic of modern physic |
