Did Alfvén focus on one particular area of physics?
No, his work spanned multiple areas such as MHD and plasma physics
Yes, primarily on gravity
Yes, primarily on quantum mechanics
Yes, primarily on particle physics
Answer
No, Alfvén did not focus on one particular area of physics. His work spanned multiple areas, including magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and plasma physics. MHD is the study of the behavior of electrically conducting fluids, such as plasmas and liquid metals. Plasma physics is the study of plasmas, which are ionized gases that are electrically conductive.
