Description

Physicist- this is a person who studies the fundamental foundations and patterns of the structure and evolution of the world. The field of interest of a physicist has no restrictions, this is the only specialist in the natural sciences who can engage in theoretical or experimental research of any phenomenon of natural and non-natural origin available for measurements.

In fact, a physicist can engage in theoretical and experimental research in all natural sciences, considering them subsections of physics. The term physicist, as a scientist, appeared in the middle of the 19th century, from the moment physics was singled out as a separate science.

In the most general case:

The physicist can theoretical fundamental research- construction of a mathematical or physical model of a natural phenomenon or regularities and the study of the possibilities of solving equations describing a physical phenomenon both in the form of an exact solution and in ideal approximations (for example, a mathematical pendulum is an ideal model that does not exist in nature and Maxwell's pendulum is a real pendulum with specific characteristics) , as well as the subsequent analysis of the results obtained from the point of view of possible further application to experimental data in order to explain the existing results or construct a new study.

Experimental activity of a physicist- setting up an experiment to study various interactions, natural phenomena and test field theory models. The result of such research may be the discovery of a new physical phenomenon, the development or improvement of materials, apparatus, technologies for medical, space, household, etc. goals for which there is enough imagination.

A physicist may have a specialization by the type of application of their knowledge and skills, usually coincides with the areas of physics by the type of objects under study as a science or can be at the intersection of sciences, physics - theoretical, mathematical, molecular, general, molecular electronics, nanosystems, solid state, semiconductors, polymers and crystals, magnetism, low temperatures and superconductivity, condensed matter, electronics, photonics and microwaves, nuclear, atomic, microelectronics, space, optics and spectroscopy, quantum collision theory, radiation medicine, neutronography, Earth, sea, water and land, atmosphere, medical, space rays, accelerators, acoustics, wave processes, quantum, high energy, statistical, geo-, bio-, radio-physics, computer methods in physics, physical chemistry.

Of all physicists, it is customary to single out Astronomers separately - physicists involved in research and observations in relation to objects of extraterrestrial origin - celestial mechanics, astrometry and gravimetry, experimental astronomy,

A physicist of any specialization can be distinguished as a specialist in a separate profession, but he will still remain a physicist in the general sense.

Physicists are: scientists, teachers, engineers, they can combine several types at the same time.

Sometimes it is impossible to draw a clear line separating physics and mathematics, as a result of this there is a common name for the direction - physical and mathematical sciences. This is the official name of one of the areas in which physicists and mathematicians can publish scientific papers and defend candidate or doctoral dissertations. This is not the only related specialty, a complete list of official specialties is published on the website of the Higher Attestation Commission "Nomenclature of Specialties of Scientific Workers" http://vak.ed.gov.ru/ru/help_desk/.

Research tools physics - a pen, paper, computer, any measuring device assembled by physicists earlier or right now only for their own research, as well as any familiar household appliance modified or not modified for the purpose of measurement, and finally the physicist himself and everything that comes to his hand (for example, in a cartoon "38 parrots" were used as measuring instruments: baby elephant, monkey, parrot).

Must know, be able to derive from general theoretical assumptions and experimental data, as well as reasonably apply existing achievements: general and theoretical physics, higher mathematics, methods of mathematical physics, fundamentals of computer technology and programming.
Know the methods of setting up and conducting experiments, the general principles of the operation of physical devices; principles of obtaining, collecting, systematizing, possessing the skill of generalizing and using scientific and technical information, conducting scientific research.

The physics of the area of ​​research in which it intends to engage.

A schoolchild physicist must know physics, be fluent in his native language, have basic skills in mathematical logic and solve problems in mathematics within the framework of the program adopted by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. This is really already enough to be a physicist, but not enough to conduct a stable professional activity.

Professionally important qualities

Main: curiosity and satisfaction from this type of activity is the only factor in the presence of which the remaining qualities will develop themselves.

If you do not find everything listed below, then the absence of these qualities does not deprive you of the opportunity to become a physicist.

Below:

• abstract-logical and non-standard thinking;
• adherence to principles (in relation to oneself);
• courage (not to be afraid of a large amount of the same type of work);
• initiative;
• accuracy;
• attentiveness;
• honesty;
• modesty;
• high efficiency;
• criticality;
• emotional stability;
• openness in perception;
• sociability;
• striving for the search for truth;
• the ability to admit and experience their own mistakes;
• and it's not over yet...

Medical contraindications

A variety of specialties in the profession of a physicist and modern medical methods for monitoring the condition of patients allows even people with health problems to engage in this activity. At the moment, "withdrawal" for medical reasons is given to a very narrow group of people who, in principle, do not allow their health to work with equipment. Usually, medical commissions do not give conclusions "unsuitable", but set restrictions on some specializations. For example, a patient with tumor activity will not be allowed to work in experimental research on radioactive radiation, while theoretical research in this area will be safe for him. If the patient has a persistent desire to devote himself to the profession of a physicist, there will be no "rejection". There was such a case at the Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University, a young man with a disability of the 1st group entered, studied excellently and defended his diploma with honors.

Ways to get a profession

On the territory of the Russian Federation, there are two systems for training physicists: a one-stage system, a specialist diploma indicating the specialty and qualifications; two-stage Bologna, the first program is a bachelor's degree (4 years), the second is a master's degree (2 years), a bachelor's and master's degree is awarded, respectively.

Universities:

Faculty of Physics, Moscow State University M.V. Lomonosov, RUDN University , MEPhI, MIPT, MIREA, MIEM, MSTU im. N.E. Bauman, MATI, MAI.
After receiving higher education, those who wish can continue their studies in graduate school, followed by the defense of a Ph.D. The next iteration is the defense of a doctoral dissertation. After that, it is possible to participate in the election to the post of Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and further to the post of Academician. All these steps can serve as an indicator of the qualifications of a specialist in the field of physics.

Physics in poetry and prose

Poets and writers are able to see the world around them and describe it figuratively. In many literary works, we encounter various natural phenomena in the artistic imagination of the authors. A physicist, reading such passages, cannot help but consider such small excerpts from works as problems with a physical content. Some of them can be very difficult - you need to think carefully to answer correctly. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy both artistic forms and beautiful solutions at the same time.

Let's start with poetry.

Read an excerpt from I. Surikov's poem "Winter":

"The days have become short,

The sun shines a little

Oh, the frosts have come

And winter has come."

Why do the days get shorter with the onset of winter?

• In the famous poem "Winter Morning", the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin describes winter landscapes well and at the same time, without knowing it, raises many interesting questions for physics lovers.

Listen and independently formulate simple physical problems.

"Under blue skies

magnificent carpets,

Shining in the sun, the snow lies;

The transparent forest alone turns black,

And the spruce turns green through the frost,

And the river under the ice glitters.

How many phenomena are described here and from which branch of physics?

• Yury Lermontov also sang of nature. Lermontov's prophet, persecuted and despised by the crowd, still knows the price of happiness.

And the stars listen to me

Playing joyfully with rays.

Can someone explain how to distinguish a star from a planet in the sky?

Let's move on to prose.

• V. Korolenko in the work "On the Eclipse" describes such a landscape:

“The day is starting to get noticeably paler. The faces of people take on a terrible shade, the shadows of human figures lie pale, indistinct on the ground ... However, while the thin crescent-shaped rim of the sun remains, the impression of a very pale day still reigns ... But this spark has disappeared ... Round, dark, hostile the body, like a spider, stuck into the bright sun ... "

Why did the shadows become pale and fuzzy?

• Mikhail Prishvin describes hunting in one of his works as follows:

“We are walking with Lada - my hunting dog - along a small lake. The water today is such that a flying sandpiper and its reflection in the water were exactly the same: it seemed that two sandpipers were flying towards us ... Lada was outlined. Which one will she choose for herself: the real one, flying over the water, or his reflection in the water - after all, both are similar to each other like two drops of water. So poor Lada chooses a reflection for herself and, probably thinking that she will now catch a live sandpiper, makes a jump from a high bank and thumps into the water. And the top, real sandpiper flies away.

Can you guess from which work of Prishvin this passage is taken?

Now for the physics problem:Is there a difference between an object and its reflection?

• And here is an excerpt from the story of A.P. Chekhov "Steppe":

“Egorushka ... took a run and flew from a height of one and a half yards. Describing an arc in the air, he fell into the water, sank deep, but did not reach the bottom; some force, cold and pleasant to the touch, picked him up and carried him back upstairs.

What strength are we talking about?

But the quatrain in Ukrainian

From a poem by the great Taras Shevchenko:

“The wind with haєm is moving,

Whisper with sedge,

Plive Choven on the Danube

One for water."

What physical tasks can be seen in this poem?Of course, various issues can be considered here. Perhaps the most interesting are the following:

The first problem is about the wind.Why, as the poet accurately noted, “the wind talks to the grove”, but “whispers” to the sedge?

The second problem can be summarized as follows.Why does the current carry the boat downstream?

Physics in the profession of a builder

We are sure that each of those present has a home. Whether it is a private house or an apartment. At different times of the year, our home protects us from various climatic influences: heat, rain, cold, etc. Many people consider this to be something ordinary and self-evident property of a house or apartment, but not many people think about it or are interested in how the builders, in what way they create such comfort ?!

Building physics is a set of scientific disciplines that consider physical phenomena and processes associated with the construction and operation of buildings and structures, and develop methods for the corresponding engineering calculations. The main and most developed sections of building physics are building heat engineering, building acoustics, and building lighting engineering. Other sections are also being developed. The formation of building physics as a science dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. Until that time, questions of building physics were usually solved by engineers and architects on the basis of practical experience.

Prospects for the further development of building physics are associated with the use of new means and methods of scientific research. So, for example, the structural and mechanical characteristics of materials and their moisture state in the construction of buildings are studied using ultrasound, laser radiation, gamma rays, using radioactive isotopes, etc.

Building physics methods are based on the analysis of physical processes occurring in fences and in their environment. For them, laboratory and natural studies of these processes are used using mathematical methods of physical modeling.

Numerous forces act on each building structure, for example, compressive and tensile forces. These forces load the building structure. That is why they are called loads. Loads occur due to the structure itself and may be due to external influences. Distinguish between permanent and temporary loads

The external enclosing structures of buildings must meet the following heat engineering requirements: have sufficient heat-shielding properties to prevent excessive heat loss in the cold season and overheating of the premises in summer in hot climates; the temperature of the inner surface of the fence should not fall below a certain level in order to exclude steam condensation on it and one-sided cooling of the human body from heat radiation to this surface; have air permeability that does not exceed the permissible limit, above which excessive air exchange reduces the heat-shielding properties of the fences, leads to room discomfort and excessive heat loss; maintain a normal humidity regime during the operation of the building, which is especially important, since the moisture of the fence reduces its heat-shielding properties and durability.

Natural lighting can be provided through windows in the outer walls, skylights and light-transparent coatings, and can also be used in the construction of fountains.

An ecological house is a high-quality, durable, affordable individual housing. The use of natural, natural materials allows you to create a healthy microclimate at home.

In addition, the availability of material favorably affects the cost of construction. With the observance of technology and high quality work, the life of the house is very long. The construction process does not require excessive labor costs.

Physics in the railroad profession

In the summer we traveled a lot, using, among other things, rail transport. A large number of people prefer it, it is used for cargo transportation, for transporting various equipment and machinery.

Today it is impossible to imagine the life of a modern person without a fast and reliable connection between people living in different cities and countries. Sometimes you can calmly wait for news, leisurely traveling in a mail coach, but there are circumstances, for example, during a war, when communication must be lightning fast, because during hostilities, as you know, “procrastination is like death.”

At present, electric railways are widely used. And here you can not do without knowledge of physics. Electric railways receive electrical energy from power systems that combine several power plants. Electrical energy from generators of power plants is transmitted through electrical substations, power lines of various voltages and traction substations. At the latter, electrical energy is converted to the form (according to the type of current and voltage) used in locomotives, and is transmitted to them through the traction network. The laws of electrostatics, electrodynamics, electromagnetism work here.

The reliability of the operation of electrified roads depends on the reliability of the power supply system. Therefore, the issues of reliability and efficiency of the power supply system significantly affect the reliability and efficiency of the entire electric railway as a whole.

The exchange of service information and control commands between the locomotive and the tail car via a digital radio channel in the range of 160 MHz / megahertz / is carried out via satellite communications.

We live in the age of new information technologies, information is updated very quickly and we need to keep up with the times. The real discovery was the physics of semiconductors, incl. and in rail transport. Perhaps the most surprising is the invention of heterostructures. It belongs to the Russian academician Zhores Ivanovich Alferov.

Thanks to his discoveries, it became possible to develop telecommunications and information on the railway.

The efficiency of the railways is based on the introduction of new principles and methods of management using modern information technologies and the creation of a single information and communication space for the industry.

This requires the construction of a single backbone digital communication network. The total length of fiber-optic communication lines is more than 52 thousand km.

The aim of the project is the introduction of advanced technologies in all areas of the federal railway transport.

A global data transmission network is superimposed on the backbone digital communication network, and on its basis, the introduction of telecommunication technologies is carried out. This makes it possible to control the rolling stock on long hauls from the centers of traffic dispatch control that are being created. The most effective are automated systems for accounting and managing wagon, locomotive, container fleets, passenger transportation management, registration and maintenance of transportation documents.

Knowledge of electronics and electrical engineering allows you to professionally use control devices for various systems.

Physics in art

The great poetry of our century is a science with an amazing flourishing of its discoveries.
E. Zola

Physics and art... They don't seem to go together. However, this is not so, and today we will try to prove it. Representatives of art, sometimes without knowing it themselves, use physical laws for their creations. And physicists… they love and appreciate art, which awakens their creative thought, inspires them and thus helps to comprehend the secrets of nature.

A. Einstein played the violin in moments of rest; D. Landau liked to read poems by Lermontov and Byron; M. Planck and W. Heisenberg were excellent pianists; the creator of the world's first nuclear reactor I.V. Kurchatov often attended symphony concerts and three days before his death he listened to Mozart's "Requiem" at the conservatory, the most prominent Russian writer of the 19th century. AI Herzen graduated from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Moscow University and specialized in astronomy.

Physics and painting

Science and art are united by the desire for knowledge and creativity. The latter means the creation of new information, implemented practically, and not by logical reasoning.

• The complexity of the color structure, the variety of colors and their shades;

• Optics;
• Physics and restoration technique.

I. Newton was the first to understand the “device” of the rainbow, he showed that the “sunny bunny” consists of various colors.

Later, the physicist and talented musician Thomas Jung would show that the differences in color are due to different wavelengths. Jung is one of the authors of modern color theory along with G. Helmholtz and J. Maxwell. The priority in creating a three-component theory of colors (red, blue, green - the main ones) belongs to M.V. Lomonosov, although the famous Renaissance architect Leon Batista Alberti also expressed a brilliant guess.

One of the most important factors in painting is "Optics": linear perspective (geometric optics), aerial perspective effects (diffraction and diffuse scattering of light in air), color (dispersion, physiological perception, blending, complementary colors). It is useful to look into painting textbooks. It reveals the meaning of such characteristics of light as luminous intensity, illumination, angle of incidence of rays.

Various sensations of light and color can be described when studying the eye, consider the physical basis of optical illusions, the most common of which is the rainbow.

Physics and Restoration Technology

Methods: radiography, photography in infrared rays, spectrography and microchemical analysis, macrophotography - shooting at a fairly large distance through a highly magnifying lens allows you to identify the "handwriting" of the artist, i.e. the movement of the brush, the manner of imposing paints.

Physics and sculpture

The Physics of Art in Kinetic Sculptures by David Roy

Energy does not come from anywhere and does not just disappear anywhere. Imagine a billiard table. We hit the white ball and it will fly to the red one. The balls will collide. White will stop and transfer its energy to red, and red will fly further from this energy. If nothing interfered with the red ball, then it would fly indefinitely. But it is slowed down by friction on the table and even air resistance, so it slows down and stops after exhausting all the energy for resistance.

List of professions

Professions that require physics and related disciplines are suitable for applicants with a mathematical mindset. Some educators and parents unmotivatedly believe that technical professions are not for girls.

However, engineers, technologists, analysts, and female designers successfully work at enterprises. Professions related to physics for girls will open up prospects for career growth in the technical field with decent pay.

Not only girls, but also boys have a poor idea of ​​the role of physics in professional training. What profession to choose with good grades in physics?

Industry

In the first place is technical physics. Manufacturing is constantly looking for technology-savvy people who can improve plant operations, increase productivity, and cut costs without sacrificing product quality.

There are many specialties in technical physics. Work in this area will provide an opportunity to apply the laws of nature and technology in practice.

Summing up

Physics plays a significant role in professional activity. Education in physics and technology universities will provide a secure future, because. no plant can do without specialists of technical professions. With knowledge of physical disciplines, you can freely choose who to work and what to do all your life.

Of course, this article will not focus on work in the CIS, but on those places where money is paid for work. There are countless professions related to science in the world. There are even more stereotypes that being a scientist is self-sacrifice, because you have to choose either business and money, or doing science.
We decided to think about whether the scientific profession really interferes with making money? Or a big salary, is it the exclusive prerogative of a software engineer?

1. Oil production

You can expect the highest salary if you are a petroleum engineer. It so happened that the battle for resources on our planet costs money, and oil and gas production is the most profitable. If you are well versed in the methods of extracting valuable resources from the earth, and are also ready to offer new ones, then you can count on an average annual salary of $128,000.

2. Physics

Looking at the salaries of our physicists, this profession cannot be called profitable. However, in the world, scientists are valued much more. Physicists are engaged in detailed studies of the origin of everything around us. A good budget is often allocated for these cases, so a physicist can earn up to $ 107 thousand a year.

3. Computer scientists

This profession involves the development of computer technology, programming languages, hardware and much more. Computer scientists are jack-of-all-trades, so they can expect to make $100,000 a year.

4. Engineer for hardware control and provision

This profession is one of the most sought after in modern times. Good specialists who grasp everything “on the fly” in the field of electrical engineering, testing, as well as in the development of hardware and software are worth their weight in gold. It is not surprising that wages at such a job reach up to $100,000 a year.

5. Nuclear engineer

Very nice and helpful job. A good nuclear engineer is worth its weight in gold in the field of energy production, the operation of nuclear power plants, and the disposal of nuclear waste. And the work is interesting, and they pay an impressive $100,000 a year.

6. Astronomer

Being an astronomer is not only interesting, but also profitable. World space exploration programs often receive impressive funding. Both at the state level and from private companies. Not everyone on this planet has given up yet, some continue to look into the infinity of black space, receiving, on average, almost $ 100 thousand a year for this.

7. Software Engineer

One of the most sought after and popular professions today. Of course, not many people can master it, otherwise it would not be so highly paid.
Creation of new operating systems, development of software and even creation of new computer games - any modern company cannot do without a software engineer. And the average salary in this area in the world is $95,000.

8. Mathematician

Of course, school mathematics teachers cannot count on high salaries (an insulting lack of modernity). However, there are mathematicians who are really engaged in large-scale research, both for the development of any technologies, and for solving the most important theories of our time. Often such research is well funded, so mathematicians can earn up to $95,000 a year.

9. Design engineer

More precisely, an aerospace design engineer.

To fly epic on a rocket into space, you first need to design it. Mankind is only at the dawn of space travel, and for some reason it concentrates more on the internal troubles of our small planet, but attempts to conquer outer space do not stop.

In many NASA or SpaceX projects, a design engineer can earn up to $93,000 a year.

10. Other sciences

Scientific research in other fields than astronomy, physics and mathematics is also in full swing, albeit not with such powerful funding. In most countries of the world, intellectual work is valued, therefore, salaries in such areas attract young and talented scientists who strive to make the world a better place.
The average salary for a scientist in developed countries is $91,000 per year.
