The Department of Physics was established in 1961 when it started B.Sc. with Mathematics. In order to provide immediate learning resources for the benefit of the students, the department is maintaining a library. Besides, the department has two well-equipped laboratories for the UG students. The labs have Geiger Muller Counter to study radio activity, Abbe Refracto Meter to measure Refractive index of liquids, D.C. Operators to determine dialectic constant and a separate workshop for preparing electronics independently.
The members of the faculty are using modern teaching methods aided by LCD projector, OHP and audio visual charts. The department constantly monitors the progress of the students by enriching their knowledge by conducting slip-tests, internal exams, class seminars, subject-related quiz programmes and group discussions. Remedial coaching is also offered to the slow learners. The department organized a national seminar on “Emerging Materials and Technologies”.
Apart from providing quality education to the students, the department is also involving them actively to participate in various extension activities like health and blood donation camps, clean and green programmes etc. It is also extending commendable service to the needy and deserving students by providing financial assistance to enable them to complete their degree courses successfully and also to join higher learning institutions.
Physics is the scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other.
This energy can take the form of motion, light, electricity, radiation, gravity . . . just about anything, honestly. Physics deals with matter on scales ranging from sub-atomic particles (i.e. the particles that make up the atom and the particles that make up those particles) to stars and even entire galaxies.
How Physics Works?
As an experimental science, physics utilizes the scientific method to formulate and test hypotheses that are based on observation of the natural world. The goal of physics is to use the results of these experiments to formulate scientific laws, usually expressed in the language of mathematics, which can then be used to predict other phenomena.
The Role of Physics in Science
In a broader sense, physics can be seen as the most fundamental of the natural sciences. Chemistry, for example, can be viewed as a complex application of physics, as it focuses on the interaction of energy and matter in chemical systems. We also know that biology is, at its heart, an application of chemical properties in living things, which means that it is also, ultimately, ruled by the physical laws.
