From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Connection between physics and engineering
Applied physics
is the application of
physics
to solve scientific or engineering problems. It is usually considered a bridge or a connection between physics and
engineering
.
"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
or
science
that may be affected by the work. Applied physics is rooted in the fundamental truths and basic concepts of the
physical sciences
but is concerned with the utilization of scientific principles in practical devices and systems and with the application of physics in other areas of science and
high technology
.
