What is Physics?
“Science that studies the properties of matter and energy, considering only the attributes capable of measurement.”
Physics is an empirical science . Everything we know about the physical world and the principles that govern its behavior has been learned through observing the phenomena of nature.
The ultimate test of any physical theory is its agreement with observations and measurements of physical phenomena.
Physics, therefore, is essentially a science of measurement .
