Program Details

Physics and Astronomy School: Trent University Faculty: Faculty of Science Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Astronomy Physics, General Description: Physics is the most fundamental of the natural sciences. It includes the study of electricity and magnetism, gravitation, electronics, the motion of projectiles and rotating bodies, heat, light, and sound, and the interactions between the smallest particles in nature: electrons, protons, neutrons, and quarks – the building blocks of all matter. Because of their fundamental nature, the concepts of physics underlie much of modern astronomy, chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering. Discoveries in physics continue to improve space travel, speed up global electronic communications, lead to new products such as ferroelectric computer memories, and invent and improve medical diagnostic techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
