What is applied physics?

And how can it be applied to something else?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Applied physics is a general term for physics which is intended for a particular technological
"Applied" is distinguished from "pure" by a subtle combination of factors such as the motivation and attitude of researchers and the nature of the relationship to the technology

Applied physics means combination of "pure" physics with engineering. Pure physics is the study of the basic physical properties of matter, and all that derives from it, such as energy and motion. Applied physics uses this same line of investigation to solve technological problems.

Hi @tremaco!

Applied physics is a general term for physics intended for a particular or technological use. It differs from engineering since an applied physicist may not be designing something specifically but rather he will use physics or conducting physics research with a goal to develop new technologies or solve an engineering problem.
This kind of approach is the same with that of applied mathematics. Applied physics has its basis in the fundamental truths and basic concepts of the physical sciences. It is concerned with utilizing scientific principles in practical devices and systems.
Applied physicists may also be interested in the use of physics and apply it in scientific research. For example, those people working on accelerator physics are looking for ways to build better accelerators for research in theoretical TIPUS.
The field of ares of research for applied physics are acoustics,agrophysics, ballistics, control theory, digital electronics, and many more.
