This course introduces students to the methods of experimental physics. Emphasis is given on laboratory techniques such as accuracy of measurements and data analysis. The concepts that are learnt in the lecture sessions are translated to the laboratory sessions thus providing a hands-on learning experience.

The students will be able to-
CO92:Assess the validity of physical theories through the design and execution of an experiment, the analysis of uncertainties associated with the measurement of data and the interpretation of the data to draw valid scientific conclusions.
CO93: Understand and demonstrate functions of CRO.
CO94: Handle useful transmission line circuits and calculate its parameters.
CO95: Develop the skill to determine melting point of wax.
CO96: Develop oral and written scientific communication skills, and to think critically and work independently. |
Approach in teaching:Demonstration, Group activity, Discussion ,Conduction of Experiments Learning activities for the students: Performing Experiments, taking observations , Analysis and interpretation of results, Error analysis, preparation of viva voce questions and maintain practical record, |
Class test, Semester end examinations, Viva voce, Practical record file |
NOTE - Students are expected to perform any eight experiments from the given list. Two experiments out of the eight will be set in the examination paper.
