Objective: 
  • 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.
