Core

Classical Mechanics

This subject teaches the motion of macroscopic objects covering several objects like projectiles, machinery pieces, along with astronomical objects such as spacecraft, galaxies, stars and planets.

Core

Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics

Thermodynamics is concerned with simplicity at the macroscopic level, and its laws are expressed in terms of a few observable factors such as temperature and pressure. In principle, statistical mechanics also permits one to explore physical systems that are beyond the area of validity of Thermodynamics.

Core

Electromagnetism and Photonics

Electromagnetism is a field of Physics that examines electromagnetic force, which is a sort of physical interaction between electrically charged particles. Understanding the manipulation, creation, and transmission of light particles is central to the study of photonics.

Core

Relativistic Mechanics

Relativistic mechanics teaches mechanics associated with general relativity and special relativity.

Core

Quantum Mechanics

Quantum mechanics is a basic theory of Physics that describes the physical aspects of nature at the atomic and subatomic particle scales. It is the bedrock upon which all quantum Physics is built, including quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.

Core

Atomic Physics

Atomic Physics focusses on study of atoms and is primarily concerned with the arrangement of electrons surrounding the nucleus, as well as the mechanisms that cause these arrangements to change.
