This document discusses the various branches of physics. It begins by stating that classical physics is mainly concerned with energy and matter, with traditional branches being optics, acoustics, electromagnetics, and classical mechanics. It then lists some of the main branches of physics, including mechanics, optics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, relativity, and acoustics. For each branch, it provides a brief 1-2 sentence definition of what the branch involves, such as mechanics dealing with motion and forces or optics concerning light behavior and properties.
