CAREERS IN PHYSICS Archives | School Portal NG

Physics has several applications on health, technology & engineering, agriculture and applied sciences. As a results, below are some of the aspects/careers related to physics. IN HEALTH We have: Human medicine and surgery Nursing & midwives Radiotherapy Pharmacology Physiology Anaesthesia Veterinary etc. IN ENGINEERING We have: Electrical engineering Electronic engineering Mechanical engineering Aeronautic engineering Petroleum engineering etc. IN AGRICULTURE We have: Agricultural engineering Agricultural production engineering Horticulture etc. IN BASIC/APPLIED SCIENCES We have: Geophysics Applied physics Biophysics Medical physics Space physics Astronomical physics Engineering physics etc. Evaluation: Mention any four (4) careers related to physics in: Health Basic science Engineering. BRANCHES OF PHYSICS The following are the branches of physics. Mechanics Heat Electricity Optics Sound Magnetism Atomic physics Nuclear physics NOTE: No. 7 & 8 above had been combined and addressed with the current name, ‘’NUCLEAR PHYSICS’’, since the energy comes from the nucleus of the atom. The OLD NAME is ATOMIC PHYSICS. See also ELECTRONICS RADIOACTIVITY PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
