We can understand this by some examples :
(1) Development of Alternative Energy Resources :
A most significant area to which physics has and will contribute is the development of alternative energy resources. The fossil fuels of the earth are ending fast and there is an urgent need to discover new and affordable sources of energy. Considerable progress has already been made in this direction. For example : Conversion of solar energy, geothermal energy into electricity.
(2) Silicon Chip Technology :
(2) Silicon Chip Technology :
Yet another important example of physics giving rise to technology is the silicon chip, that triggered the computer revolution in the last three decades of the twentieth century.
