On 25th January 2020, we visited to IIS School for the lab which was under Prof. Y.K.Vijay. The objective of this, was to promote scientific thinking among the students of physics at graduate and undergraduate level
We observed experiments there, most of them were made by Prof. Y.K.Vijay himself. This was to promote the idea of questioning and performing experiments ourselves. The lab was creative and it was very enlightening and enjoyable to observe in practical what we knew from theory.
The objective was well achieved and we received many insights for our future in research.
Some of the memorable experiments were:-
The multiple pendulums
The observation of rotational kinetic energy by balls on track
Resonance of metal bowl by wooden stick
Magnetic pendulums
Potential well in water
Measurement of weight by air pressure
Lisajous figure
Working of black hole
Radiation detector in air and vacuum
