1. Basics of Rockets
- Rockets work on the principle of Newton’s Third Law of Motion: "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."
- Uses propellants (solid, liquid, or hybrid) to generate thrust.
- Equipped with a payload that can carry satellites, instruments, or astronauts.
- Critical components include engines, fuel tanks, and guidance systems.
- Widely used in space exploration and satellite deployment.

1. Radio Communication
- Uses radio waves to transmit signals over long distances.
- Based on the principles of electromagnetic wave propagation.
- Consists of a transmitter that sends signals and a receiver that decodes them.
- AM (Amplitude Modulation) and FM (Frequency Modulation) are the two main types of radio signals.
- Widely used for broadcasting, navigation, and emergency communication.

1. Incandescent Bulbs
- Work on the principle of Joule heating.
- An electric current passes through a tungsten filament, heating it to a high temperature.
- The filament emits light due to incandescence.
- Only about 5-10% of energy is converted to light; the rest is lost as heat.

1. Introduction to Time Dilation and Length Contraction
- These are key concepts in Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity.
- They illustrate the relativity of time and space for observers in different frames of motion.
- These phenomena occur at speeds close to the speed of light (c).

1. Introduction to Special Relativity
- Proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905.
- Deals with the physics of objects moving at constant velocity, particularly at speeds close to the speed of light.
- Built on two key postulates:
- The laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames.
- The speed of light (c) is constant in all inertial frames, regardless of the motion of the source or observer.

1. Introduction to Quantum Computing
- Quantum computing is a revolutionary technology based on the principles of quantum mechanics.
- Unlike classical computers that use bits (0 or 1), quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in a state of superposition.
- This allows quantum computers to perform parallel processing and solve complex problems faster than classical computers.

1. Introduction to Lasers
- LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
- It is a device that produces a highly focused and coherent beam of monochromatic light.
- Lasers work based on the principles of quantum mechanics, particularly stimulated emission.

1. Introduction to the Uncertainty Principle
- Proposed by Werner Heisenberg in 1927 as a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics.
- The principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously measure both the position and momentum of a particle with absolute precision.
- The more precisely one quantity is known, the less precisely the other can be determined.

1. Introduction to Quantum Physics
- Quantum physics is the study of phenomena at atomic and subatomic levels.
- Revolutionized classical physics by introducing the concept of quantization.
- Developed to explain phenomena that could not be explained by classical theories.
