Physics is the scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other.
Matter, generally is a substance (often a particle) that has rest mass and also volume.
There are four states of matter: Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma.
Solid State Physics is the study of the behavior of atoms when they are placed in close proximity to one another, like “Crystal”.
It explains the properties of solid materials.
It explains the properties of a collection of atomic nuclei and electrons interacting with electrostatic forces.
It formulates fundamental laws that govern the behavior of solids.
The course gives an introduction to solid-state physics and will enable the student to employ classical and quantum mechanical theories needed to understand the physical properties of solids.
