Applied geophysics is a branch of geophysics that focuses on using physical principles and techniques to study the Earth's subsurface and its various properties. This field plays a critical role in understanding the composition, structure, and behavior of the Earth's interior for applications such as resource exploration, environmental assessment, engineering projects, and hazard mitigation.
This course will provide an understanding of electric, mechanical and optical properties of materials and will outline the physical origins which governs the properties of matter in the solids.
Solid State Physics & Properties of Materials
Medical Physics is a branch of Applied Physics that is pursued by medical physicists. Physics principles, methods and techniques in practice and research are used for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases with a specific goal of improving health and well-being of the human kind. Medical physics may further be classified into a number of sub-fields (specialties), including Radiation Oncology Physics, Medical Imaging Physics, Nuclear Medicine Physics, Medical Health Physics (Radiation Protection in Medicine), Non-ionizing Medical Radiation Physics, and Physiological Measurement. It is also closely linked to neighbouring sciences such as Biophysics, Biological Physics, and Health Physics.
This is a compulsory course for those who are studying Physics.
