1. Physics And Geography
- Accurate use of weather instruments like thermometer, wind vane, rain gauges etc. require physics knowledge.
- Concepts like heat transfer by convection which explain the formation of convectional rainfall and pressure variation can be best explained in physics.
2. Physics and Mathematics
- Many concepts in physics like laws, effects, principles etc. are expressed mathematically.
- Mathematical skills are therefore very instrumental in the leaning of physics
3. Physics and Chemistry
- Physics has helped in explaining the nature of particles within atoms and therefore atomic structure of substances.
- Atomic structure of different / various substances determine their reactivity (chemical reactions).
4. Physics and History
- Historians use carbon dating to establish ages of fossils and therefore past patterns of earlier life.
- This concept of carbon dating is explained better in atomic physics.
5. Physics and Home Science
- Physics knowledge is used in designing and manufacture of kitchen equipment e.g. electric cookers, microwave ovens, energy saving jikos etc.
6. Physics and Technology
- Machines used in the field of medicine such as x-rays, body scanners and lasers are all applications of physics.
- Manufacture and use of satellites and microwave dishes used in information technology to relay information is based on physics knowledge
- Physics knowledge is also used in defense industry in the manufacture and use of most modern and complex machines.
7. Physics and Biology
- Knowledge of lenses studied in physics has led to the manufacture of microscopes used in the study of the cell and diseases.
