Forensic physics
Forensic physics applies the principles of physics, which define the structure of matter and how molecules within the universe interact, to forensic investigations. Forensic investigations are carried out to collect and analyze evidence related to a suspected crime. Examples of methods used in forensic physics are involved in density and refractive index measurements used in soil, glass, and paint examination and ballistics analysis to determine if a specific firearm was used in the commission of the suspected crime.
