Question

Mention a few examples of physics in relation to other sciences.

Answer 1

Physics in relation to Chemistry :
The study of structure of atoms, radioactivity, X- ray diffraction etc. in Physics have enabled chemists to rearrange the elements in periodic table on the basis of atomic number ; have better understanding of chemical bonding and complex chemical structures.
Physics in relation to Astronomy :
The giant astronomical telescopes developed in Physics are used for observing planets and other heavenly bodies in the sky. Radio telescopes have enabled the astronomers to observe distant limits of the universe.
Physics in relation to Biological Sciences :
The optical microscopes developed in Physics are extensively used in the study of biological samples. Using an electron microscope, the structure of biological cells is studied. X- rays discovered in Physics have a variety of applications in biological sciences. The radio isotopes are used in the treatment of cancer and so on.
