- Atomic Physics: Provides an in-depth exploration of the atom, its subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons), their behaviors and interaction with energy and matter.
- Quantum Mechanics: An intricate explanation on how particles at a microscopic scale, potentially even smaller than atoms, behave in a series of processes where traditional physics may not apply.
- Nuclear Physics: Explores the dynamics of atomic nuclei, their components and interactions, including discussions on nuclear reactions, radioactive decay and fusion.
- Thermodynamics: Offers a detailed exploration of the transfer of heat and energy, the relationship between different types of energy, and the laws guiding these transfers and conversions.
- Classical Mechanics: Explains the laws of motion established by Sir Isaac Newton, elucidating the relationship between force and motion in objects.
- Electromagnetism: Details how electric currents and magnetic fields interact with each other, and their combined roles in the functioning of many everyday electronics.
- Special and General Theory of Relativity: Breaks down both of Einstein’s theories, including how the speed of light impacts time and the impact of gravity on space and time, respectively.
- Astrophysics: Gives an overview of the physics of stars, galaxies, and the universe at large, discussing phenomena like black holes, quasars, and the Big Bang theory.
- Solid State Physics: Discusses the properties, structure, and behavior of solids, including the quantum mechanical nature of atoms and how they form complex materials.
- Optics: Handles the properties and behaviors of light, including its interactions with different types of matter and phenomena such as refraction, interference, and polarization.
- Plasma Physics: Contains the descriptions of the properties and uses of plasma, a state of matter similar to gas in which a certain portion of particles are ionized.
- Particle Physics: Delve into the tiny particles that make up everything in the universe, scrutinizing their properties, interactions and the forces acting upon them.
