Traditional physics are more commonly called "Classical Physics" and it was created by the old giants of physicists like Newton and Galileo.

Modern physics are the newer study of physics that was created by folk like Einstein and Schrodinger.

The main difference is that classical physics deals in things that are relatively and easily handled by human size in terms of observation, forces and speeds. Things like the motion of baseballs, cars and planets.

Modern physics deal in things that are small or fast. Time dilation due to traveling near the speed of light falls under modern physics as does the world of subatomic particles. The nature of electromagnetic radiation roughly follows the same wave math involved in classical physics, however, things get deeper when we begin to discuss the wave-particle duality of matter and light so it is more modern physics.

What are the two main division of physics?

In study: Classic physics - The study of motion, forces, electricity and heat. This is sometimes called Newtonian physics. Modern physics - The study of quantum mechanics, relativity (general and special) subatomic particles and astrological forces/events. (the last not to be confused with astrology)tama ito promize


When was Modern Physics Letters B created?

Modern Physics Letters B was created in 1987.


What are the two major divisions of physics?

The two major divisions of physics are classical physics and modern physics. Classical physics deals with the study of macroscopic phenomena using principles such as Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics. Modern physics, on the other hand, explores the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels, incorporating theories like quantum mechanics and relativity.


Why physics is called modern physics?

Physics is called modern physics to distinguish it from classical physics, which refers to the physics developed before the 20th century. Modern physics encompasses theories and principles developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries, including quantum mechanics, relativity, and particle physics. These newer theories represent a departure from the classical physics of Newton and Maxwell.


Why modern physics is more valid as compare to classical physics?

They are all valid actually since modern physics is more on Astrophysics Physical Chemistry and Bio Physics and Geophysics while Classical physics is more on Mechanics, optics, thermodynamics and waves ;D

What is modern physics?

Physics is the science of matter and energy and of interactions between the two, grouped in traditional fields such as acoustics, optics, mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, as well as in modern extensions including atomic and nuclear physics, cryogenics, solid-state physics, particle physics, and plasma physics

What do you mean by modren physics?

Typically, there are considered two forms of physics. Newtonian and modern. Newtonian relates to Newton-era mechanics and E&M. Modern physics loosely refers to post-newton physics. Modern physics primarily refers to 20th century physics as it incorporates relativity and quantum theory.
