The group of sciences (excluding biology and chemistry) which treat of the phenomena, and the laws governing the phenomena associated with matter in general. It therefore treats of: <\/p>\n
matter, its constitution and properties <\/p>\n
mechanics, which includes statics and dynamics, and treats of the action of forces on material bodies <\/p>\n
acoustics, which treats of the phenomena of sound and its laws, etc. <\/p>\n
heat, which treats of the effects produced by the force of the form of energy known as heat <\/p>\n
optics, which treats of all connected with the phenomena of sight <\/p>\n
electricity and magnetism, which treat of the agency of electricity and phenomena caused by it, and of the laws of magnetic force <\/p>\n
