http://imgwe.com/accessbee/27/1.png Hi[/URL] I'm new here. Wanted to ask is physics related to studying technology also?

Oddbio said:Not necessarily. Physics is the study of the natural world, which includes but is not limited to technology. Additionally, the topic of technology itself is extremely broad, but I assume what you refer to by "technology" are things like cars, computers, televisions, ipods, airplanes etc.. am I right?
If that is what you are asking about then the area of science that you might want to look at is, I believe, Engineering, although as I said, all of that is contained within physics just at a more fundamental level which might not be readily applicable to such things.
I'm always surprised at how many people don't know what Physics actually is, and it's always hard to give a definition of it lol. I hope I did ok.
But really, you should try and get a better understanding yourself of what it is, try googling it.

No, physics and technology are two distinct fields of study. Physics is a branch of science that deals with the fundamental laws and principles governing the natural world, while technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes.
Physics provides the foundational knowledge and principles that are used in the development of technology. Many technological advancements, such as computers, smartphones, and medical equipment, are based on principles of physics.
Yes, it is possible to excel in both physics and technology. Many scientists and engineers have a strong background in physics and use their knowledge to develop new technologies that benefit society.
There are numerous examples of how physics and technology intersect, such as the development of renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind turbines, the creation of new materials for electronics, and the use of physics principles in medical imaging technology.
No, it is not necessary to study physics to work in technology, but having a basic understanding of physics can be beneficial in many technological fields. However, there are also many technology-related jobs that do not require a background in physics.
