Physics

Physics is the natural science and the most fundamental of the experimental sciences that involves the study of universe from the smallest particle currently believed to be quarks to the vast distances between galaxies. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.


Physics also makes significant contributions through advances in new technologies that arise from theoretical breakthroughs. Physics is above all, a human activity, leading the way for the physicist’s ethical and moral accountability. Theory and experiment go hand in hand in Physics and help each other’s progress. Physics is exciting in many ways. To some people, the challenge in carrying out imaginative new experiments to unlock the secret of nature, to verify or refute theories, is thrilling.

Curriculum Objectives

  • To develop rational thinking of students scientifically
  • To develop the student's observational and investigation skills
  • To educate the students about the implications of physical phenomena
  • To develop the student's ability to analyse and interpret the observations
  • To develop the inquiring ability of the student
  • To help the students in their ability to communicate their ideas effectively
  • To prepare a confident individual who is able to face the challenges in real life

Learning Outcome

  • The students should be able to construe the scientific principles and should be able to apply them in real life
  • The students should be able to demonstrate the skills of presenting scientific facts and theories
  • They should exhibit the personal capability of problem solving
  • They should be precise and accurate in decision making
  • They should develop the ability to criticise a situation objectively
