Dept. of Physics

 

             Department of Physics was established in the Session 2011-12 with the beginning of the faculty of science. The most important aspect of Physics is day to day problem solving, an essential skill for life. Students study the course syllabus, practical performing, and handling various instruments and apparatus. As Physics plays an important role in daily life it becomes easier to study in relation to practical study provided in the Lab.

MISSION

                   Department of physics defines its mission in the context of academic excellence, scientific rigor, and scientific integrity. Our primary responsibility is to prepare undergraduate students for careers in physics and technical fields. In light of the fact that physics is a bridge between technology and society, department of physics is committed to bringing an understanding of physics and science to the general students. Our purpose is to inspire and educate our students to become autonomous thinkers and active citizens. 

LEARNING GOALS

• Knowledge

Physics majors will be conversant with the major ideas and techniques of classical and modern physics.

• Skills

Physics majors will become proficient in mathematics, laboratory, and computer skills and problem solving.

• Communication

Physics majors will communicate their knowledge in written reports and oral and poster presentations.

• Research

Physics majors will contribute to the knowledge base of physics through research.

• Careers

Physics graduates will be able to begin physics-related careers in teaching, industry, or research.

 Physics Lab:-

The department has a separate well equipped U.G laboratories and dark room. Standing and sitting space in the lab is well enough to conduct the practical softly. The environment inside lab is well ventilated so that the atmosphere is fresh and clean for students to avoid suffocation. The faculties of departments are using advance facilities teaching and learning. The laboratory is well equipped with some modern instruments for conducting experiments in various areas of physics like Optics, mechanics, electronics and electricity, electromagnetic field, thermal etc which drives the students to various technical areas.

Al the experiments are designed by the university such as to correlate theoretical knowledge with the practical applications. A computer stimulation of the difficult experiments is also demonstrated to the students for better understanding of the concepts. Poster presentation, seminar, science debate, etc activities are taken in lab.

 

5. In the year of 2020-21 following activities are taken by the department of physics.

1. Seminar of B.Sc III Sem V and BSc II Sem III students in September month.
2. “COVID-19 Pandemic awareness program” in collaboration with Dept of NSS on 21/04/2020, about  928 participants solve the quiz and provided a E-certificate.
3.  “College level Science Quiz Competition” on Testmoz platform is taken on 30/04/2020 about 100 students are participated.
