Physics and the Environment

Protecting Our Planet with Physics

Physics helps us understand and solve environmental problems, from renewable energy to climate science.

Applications

  • Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using the photoelectric effect.
  • Wind turbines use the kinetic energy of wind to generate power.
  • Physics models help predict weather and climate changes.

Everyday Impact

  • Using LED bulbs to save energy.
  • Recycling uses less energy than making new materials.

Why It Matters

Using physics to create sustainable solutions helps protect our environment for the future.

Examples

  • Installing solar panels to power a home.

  • Predicting storms with weather satellites.
