The connection between physics, technology and society can be seen in many examples. The discipline of thermodynamics arose from the need to understand and improve the working of heat engines. The steam engine, as we know, is inseparable from the Industrial Revolution in England in the eighteenth century, which had great impact on the course of human civilisation. Sometimes technology gives rise to new physics; at other times physics generates new technology. An example of the latter is the wireless communication technology that followed the discovery of the basic laws of electricity and magnetism in the nineteenth century. The applications of physics are not always easy to foresee. As late as 1933, the great physicist Ernest Rutherford had dismissed the possibility of tapping energy from atoms. But only a few years later, in 1938, Hahn and Meitner discovered the phenomenon of neutron-induced fission of uranium, which would serve as the basis of nuclear power reactors and nuclear weapons. Yet another important example of physics giving rise to technology is the silicon 'chip' that triggered the computer revolution in the last three decades of the twentieth century.
A most significant area to which physics has and will contribute is the development of alternative energy resources. The fossil fuels of the planet are dwindling fast and there is an urgent need to discover new and affordable sources of energy. Considerable progress has already been made in this direction (for example, in conversion of solar energy, geothermal energy, etc., into electricity], but much more is still to be accomplished.
Physics is the study of nature and natural phenomena. Physicists try to discover the rules that are operating in nature, on the basis of observations, experimentation and analysis. Physics deals with certain basic rules/laws governing the natural world. What is the nature of physical laws? We shall now discuss the nature of fundamental forces and the laws that govern the diverse phenomena of the physical world.
We use physics to fly and work with heavy stuff like ships and building things. Technology is everything that humans invent to help out with daily life, such as cars, factories, and power plants. Physics and technology work together to make all the man-made things around you exist, like computers, TVs, games, houses, cups, pencils, etc.
Both are capable of being misused, to the detriment of society. But none of that is the fault of physics or technology.
Physics examines and describes the most basic properties of the matter, energy, space and time which compose the universe in which we live; therefore physics is fundamental to technology.
what are the relation of physics and society?
Physics is a science which strives to understand the rules following which the world around us works.
Just about all of them.

Technology is nothing without Physics. Every technology involves Physics. Examples are the LRT's, computers, cellular phones, or any electronics using electricity which is involved in the study of Physics. The computer will not also work without the magnets and loops of wires which are also involved in the study of Physics. Physics deals with understanding of the natural world, while technology aims to apply this understanding into the man-made world. Technology might even be considered as the offspring of Physics. The world wide web, laser, superconductors and semiconductors that form the foundations of our modern technology were all invented by physicists.
Because the physics optimistic the technology without physics there can be technology.
physics is the basis of technology
