Description
Physics forms the foundational bedrock of all engineering and technological disciplines. Its principles are deeply embedded in the design, development, and functioning of real-world systems and devices. A sound understanding of physics is therefore essential for any aspiring engineer or technologist. When these fundamental concepts are applied within specific domains, they lead to innovative solutions and meaningful advancements. Physicists, in this sense, provide the conceptual framework upon which practical applications are built. This book emphasizes the importance of learning physics through a problem-based and scenario-driven approach, enabling students to connect theoretical principles with real-life applications. Rather than relying solely on abstract instruction, the book introduces physics concepts through contextualized, real-time scenarios, which enhance engagement and promote deeper understanding. Targeted specifically at first-year computing cluster students, the book offers an innovative methodology that integrates key physics topics—Applied Optics, Quantum Physics, Thermal Physics, and Acoustics—with relevant, real-world situations. For example, students explore how optics is used in traffic management systems, how quantum principles underpin emerging technologies, how thermal concepts relate to heat dissipation in computing hardware, and how acoustics plays a role in sound-based interface systems. By linking physics to practical scenarios from the computing and engineering domains, this book helps students not only understand fundamental concepts but also recognize their significance in real-world problem-solving. The approach nurtures critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and application-oriented learning—essential skills for students preparing to innovate in a technology-driven world.
