DESCRIPTION

Physics is very important natural science which deals, in a very broder sense, with the study of matter and energy as well as their interrealtionship. It involves the study of simple electronics to the most complex nuclear reactionin modern physics. In this mechnical age, every  machine from the simplest household appliances to super computer is based on principles of physics. It plays a vital role in the industrial as well as ecnomic development and scientific advancementof a country. It is also a vital part of engineering science. Hence teaching of physics hold a pivotal  position in science eduction. This course will make students aware of the basic concepts involved in physics and able to apply the concepts of physics in daily life.
