Practical Physics

We are very glad to present the book “PHY– 203: PRACTICAL PHYSICS’’ in the hands of FYBSc students. The book is strictly written and complied according to the semester pattern syllabus framed by the Board of Studies in Physics, KBC, NMU Jalgaon, for First year BSc to be implemented from June 2018 and is written in lucid, simple language giving exhaustive details.

This will help in generating interest and thorough understanding of the subject. We hope, this book will be useful for the students and teachers.
