The document discusses the importance of applied physics in information technology. It defines applied physics as using fundamental physical concepts and scientific principles to develop practical devices and systems, as well as applying physics to other areas of science. Applied physics differs from engineering in that physicists may not be designing something specific but rather conducting research to develop new technologies. For example, applied physics is important for studying chip-level circuits where the distance between molecules can impact circuit function and speed. It also notes that applied physics plays a key role in information technology fields like computers, transistors, and the World Wide Web, which form the foundation of modern technologies.

Applied Physics is rooted in fundamental truths and basic concepts of physical sciences, but is concerned with the utilization of scientific principles in practical devices and systems, and in the application of physics in other areas of science. It usually differs from engineering in that applied in that an Applied Physicist may not be designing something in particular, but rather is using and conducting physics research with the aim of developing new technologies or solving an engineering problem. For Instance ; As we study at chip level, especially high performance chips being crammed into the same or even smaller spaces, where the distance between the molecule can make a difference as to weather a circuit can function there and the speed of the cycle can depend upon the speed of an electron travelling that circuit. This is how it is useful in Information Technology…. Importance of Applied Physics in Information Technology It is really amazing to know that Applied physics plays an important role in the field of Information technology. Nearly everyone would agree that the computer, the transistor and the World Wide Web are among the greatest inventions of 20th century . Everyone knows that entire world is inextricably linked to these technologies as these inventions make up the foundation of modern technology. Applied physics is both significant and influential in parts because advances n its understandings have often translated into new technologies, but also because of new ideas in Physics often resonate with the other sciences, mathematics and philosophy.
