Physical World And Measurement

Hello, readers ЁЯШК! Here in this unit ‘Physical World And Measurement’ you can learn about basic concepts of Physics and its Impact on our Society Fundamental Forces in Nature, Four basic Conservation Law, Physical Quantities, Measurement, System of Units, Significant Figures, Errors in Measurement.

What is Science?

The term “science” originates from the Latin word “scientia,” which means “knowledge” or “knowing.” The term “science” in Sanskrit is “рд╡рд┐рдЬреНрдЮрд╛рди” (vij├▒─Бna)

Science is a systematic and evidence-based approach to understanding the natural world. Through observation, experimentation, and analysis, scientists strive to uncover fundamental principles and mechanisms governing the universe. Science has revolutionized society by providing technological advancements, medical breakthroughs, and a deeper understanding of our environment. It encourages critical thinking, fosters curiosity, and promotes innovation.

For the ease of study science is divided in two branches,

  1. Physical Science
    • PHYSICS
    • CHEMISTRY
  2. Life Science/Biology

Physics is a fundamental branch of science that explores the fundamental principles governing the behavior of matter and energy in the universe. It delves into the nature of space, time, forces, motion, and the structure of matter. Physics encompasses a wide range of topics, including mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, quantum mechanics, and relativity. Through experimental observations and mathematical models, physicists strive to understand the intricacies of the physical world and uncover the underlying laws that govern it. Physics has revolutionized technology, enabling advancements in areas such as electronics, telecommunications, energy, and transportation, and it continues to expand our understanding of the universe and drive further innovations.

Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the composition, structure, properties, and transformations of matter. It explores the interactions between atoms and molecules, and how they form compounds and undergo reactions. Chemistry plays a vital role in numerous areas, such as medicine, agriculture, materials science, environmental studies, and energy production. It helps us understand the properties and behaviour of substances, enabling the development of new materials, medicines, and technologies. From the microscopic world of atoms to the macroscopic world of chemical reactions, chemistry provides insights into the building blocks of our universe and offers practical applications that impact our daily lives.

Life Science, also known as Biology, is a field of study dedicated to understanding the complexity of living organisms. It explores the diverse forms of life, from microscopic cells to intricate ecosystems. Biology encompasses various sub-disciplines such as botany, zoology, genetics, and microbiology. Through observation, experimentation, and analysis, biologists investigate the structure, function, growth, and interactions of living organisms. They explore topics like evolution, genetics, physiology, ecology, and molecular biology. Life Science plays a vital role in fields like medicine, agriculture, environmental conservation, and biotechnology. It provides insights into the intricate mechanisms of life, enabling us to better understand ourselves and the natural world around us.
