what is the difference between these two programs? Does applied lean more on being an experimental physicists?

ZapperZ said:Actually, you need to elaborate. What exactly did you read that you did not understand?

Good info on your blig sir.Esuna,i can't find a link for the curriculun,but I'm planning on applying on UBC or SFU for 2015(our family will arrive in Canada on april and applications are done by then).maybe you know their curriculum.thanks for the info.appreciate it :-)
Applied Physics is the branch of physics that applies the theories and principles of physics to real-world problems and technological advancements. It focuses on the practical applications of physics in fields such as engineering, medicine, and technology. On the other hand, physics is the study of the fundamental laws and principles that govern the behavior of matter and energy in the universe.
Some of the career opportunities for someone with a degree in Applied Physics include working in industries such as aerospace, energy, materials science, and telecommunications. They can also work in research and development, quality control, and technical consulting.
Yes, someone with a degree in Applied Physics can pursue a career in research. They can conduct research in various industries and fields, such as renewable energy, nanotechnology, and biophysics. They can also work in research and development departments of companies or in academic institutions.
The coursework for Applied Physics is more focused on practical applications and real-world problems, while the coursework for Physics is more theoretical and focuses on understanding the fundamental laws and principles of physics. Applied Physics students may also have more hands-on laboratory experience and may take courses in engineering and technology.
Some essential skills for someone pursuing a degree in Applied Physics include strong mathematical and analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and attention to detail. They should also have strong communication and teamwork skills, as they may work on projects with other scientists and engineers.
