Practical Physics For B.Sc. Part - I & II

Practical Physics For B.Sc. Part - I & II by Dr. A. B. Bhise, Dr. R. B. Bhise

Book Summary:

We are happy to place this book “T.Y.B.Sc. Practical Physics (Part-I & II)” in the hands of B.Sc. students and teachers as per new syllabus. This book envisages the revised syllabus which is implemented from the academic year 2015-16. It is general impression of physics students that physics practicals are very difficult, hence the experimental matter is prescribed in a simple and lucid manner with the help of neat and clear figures of instruments.

This book gives a brief description of experiments of physics which are chosen as per the latest curriculum. The experiments include oscillations, waves, sound, optics, electronics, instrumentation, computer and demonstrations. Each experiment is discussed with Aim, Apparatus, Diagram, Procedure, Observations, Observation table, Formulae and Results. The theory of experiment is presented in brief in the principle with necessary formula and its explanation.

Audience of the Book :

This book Useful for B.Sc students.
