Particle physics is the science that studies the
nature of subatomic particles which form our universe, which addresses us to
the question what is matter made up of. It shows that particles are produced
due to particles collisions which are classifies into three families. These
particles form the molecules and atoms with the help of four basic forces. The Standard Model
describes strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces, using the gauge bosons.
Types of gauge bosons are the gluons, W-, W + and Z bosons, and photons. The
standard model also contains 24 fundamental particles 12 particles and their
associated anti-particle, which are the components of all matter. Finally, the
standard model predicted the existence of a type of boson known as the Higgs
boson. On July 4, 2012, physicists announced with the Large Hadron Collider at
CERN they have found a new particle that behaves like what is expected of the
Higgs boson.
Importance of physics in our daily life In our daily life we hardly find a device in which laws of physics are not involved. Pulleys are used to lift heavy loads. Electricity is used to get light,heat and mechanical energy that drives fans and electric motors. Means of transportation such as car and aeroplanes,domestic appliances such as air conditioner,refrigerators,vacuum cleaners,washing machines and microwave oven etc. The means of communication such as radio,TV,telephone and computer are the result of applications of physics.These devices have made our lives much easier and faster and more comfortable than the past. Computer is the invention of physics. 10 branches of physics and their definition Mechanics It is the study of motion of objects,its causes and effects. Sub branches of mechanics are: Classical mechanics Kinematics Dynamics Statistical mechanics Thermodynamics (Heat) It is the study of nature of heat,mode
