In tamil nadu where can i study astro physics
Hi Sai Kavitha !
Astrophysics
is the branch of
astronomy
that employs the principles of physics and
chemistry
"to ascertain the nature of the
astronomical objects
, rather than their positions or motions in space". Among the objects studied are the
Sun
, other
stars
,
galaxies
,
extrasolar planets
, the
interstellar medium
and the
cosmic microwave background
. Emissions from these objects are examined across all parts of the
electromagnetic spectrum
, and the properties examined include
luminosity
,
density
,
temperature
, and
chemical
composition. Because astrophysics is a very broad subject,
astrophysicists
apply concepts and methods from many disciplines of physics, including
mechanics
,
electromagnetism
,
statistical mechanics
,
thermodynamics
,
quantum mechanics
,
relativity
,
nuclear
and
particle physics
, and
atomic and molecular physics
. Some colleges in Tamil Naidu which offer B.Sc. in Astrophysics are :-
1) Mother Teresa Women’s University
2) Madras Christian College
3) NIT Trichy
4) IIT Madras
