PHYSICS LABORATORY – I

OBJECTIVES:

• To introduce different experiments to test basic understanding of physics concepts applied
• in optics, thermal physics and properties of matter.

LIST OF EXPERIMENTS
(Any FIVE Experiments)
 1. (a) Determination of Wavelength, and particle size using Laser
 (b) Determination of acceptance angle in an optical fiber.
2. Determination of velocity of sound and compressibility of liquid – Ultrasonic interferometer.
3. Determination of wavelength of mercury spectrum – spectrometer grating
4. Determination of thermal conductivity of a bad conductor – Lee‟s Disc method.
5. Determination of Young‟s modulus by Non uniform bending method
 6. Determination of specific resistance of a given coil of wire – Carey Foster‟s Bridge

OUTCOMES:

• The hands on exercises undergone by the students will help them to apply physics principles of optics and thermal physics to evaluate engineering properties of materials.

LIST OF EQUIPMENT FOR A BATCH OF 30 STUDENTS:
1. Diode laser, lycopodium powder, glass plate, optical fiber.
2. Ultrasonic interferometer
