Difference between electronics and physics.

AI Thread Summary
Electronics and physics are distinct fields, with electronics being more of a practical application of principles derived from physics. Physics encompasses a broad range of topics, including mechanics, electricity, optics, and acoustics, while electronics focuses on specific technologies and devices. The discussion highlights that electronics courses study tangible components rather than theoretical frameworks. Additionally, advancements in technology often lead to new inquiries within physics. Ultimately, the two fields intersect, but they serve different purposes in understanding and applying scientific concepts.

Err, that's a weird question

A)I think you misworded that, electronics isn't a branch of science, so much as actual things, and though there are electronics courses they study those "things."(hey, I'll leave useful...word..thinking of...to English majors!)

B)assuming you meant electricity vs. physics, that's just semantics. The term physics is a blanket term in that it covers a wide variety of subjects, mechanics, ELECTRICITY, optics, acoustics, etc.
 
Physics is a science, concerned with principles and theories,
able to model real situations and processes to some degree.
A technology such as Electronics overlaps physics to the extent
that is a specific application of some of the models within it.
Technologies are distinct from being *merely* applications,
finding & using features that "work" even if poorly understood.
Practical invention & development supply new tools to the science,
and bring fresh topics and phenomena to investigate.

actually there is a degree in lebanon called electronics

Physicists get to play with better toys.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
