Features: Physics studies the properties and characteristics of matter in the world, different forms of energy, and the ways in which matter interacts with energy. This book divides the content of physics research into six parts: Mechanics and General Physics, Thermodynamics, Wave Physics, Electromagnetism, Atomic and Nuclear Physics, and Common Physics Reference Materials, each marked with different colored round codes.
Mechanics and General Physics: Discusses the main concepts of physics, such as force, energy, and the properties of matter.
Thermodynamics: Explains what thermal energy is through the measurement, forms, and transfer of heat, and discusses gas laws.
Wave Physics: Discusses the characteristics and properties of wave energy, and provides a detailed study of sound waves, electromagnetic waves, and light waves.
Electromagnetism: Interprets the forms, applications, and characteristics of electric and magnetic phenomena, which are interconnected.
Atomic and Nuclear Physics: Introduces the structure of atoms and atomic nuclei, as well as energy, radioactive radiation, fission, and fusion.
Common Physics Reference Materials: General reference materials—such as charts, experimental results, and data.
