Introduction:

Physics, the most fundamental physical science, is concerned with the basic principles of the universe. It is the foundation upon which the other sciences—astronomy, biology, chemistry and geology—are based. Physics is based on experimental observations and quantitative measurements. The main objective of physics is to find the limited number of fundamental laws that govern natural phenomena and to use them to develop theories that can predict the results of future experiments. The course of “physics-III”, presents often need to work with physical quantities that have both numerical and directional properties of this nature. The course is primarily concerned imperative with some general properties of some common applications to physical situations and its associated technologies.

Course pre-requisites:

Physics-II

Learning Outcome:

The goals of the course is to provide tools by which students how to effectively read scientific material, identify fundamental concepts, reason through scientific questions, and solve quantitative problems. However, it can also be one of the most rewarding because it reveals the world’s fundamental clockwork from which all scientific and engineering applications spring regarded the Particle’s motion Earth’ movements, movements of the planets, stars, and other celestial objects.
