Course Objectives:
This course will enable the students to –
1. To engage students in significant experiences with experimental processes.
2. To develop basic skills and tools of experimental physics and data analysis
3. To understand the role of direct observation in Physics and to distinguish between inference based on theory and outcome of experiments.
