The department comes under the “DBT Star College Scheme”, Government of India since 2024.
The Department of Physics was established in 1961 when it started B.Sc. with Mathematics. The department has two well-equipped laboratories for the UG students. It has well established “Dark Room” for optical experiments and a separate electronics laboratory. The laboratories are important part of teaching-learning process where students get to interact one to one with the faculty members. It provides them with “Hands-on” mode learning of the subjects.
The lab is equipped with a smart board facility and the members of the faculty are using modern teaching methods aided by LCD projector, OHP and audio visual charts. They are well equipped to take online and off-line classes. The department constantly monitors the progress of the students by enriching their knowledge by conducting slip-tests, internal exams, class seminars, subject-related quiz programs and group discussions. Special classes are held for the slow learners. The department organized a national seminar on “Emerging Materials and Technologies”.
Apart from providing quality education to the students, the department also involves the students to actively participate in various extension activities like NCC, NSS, health centre programs and blood donation camps, clean and green programs and other college activities.
How Physics Works?
As an experimental science, physics utilizes the scientific method to formulate and test hypotheses that are based on observation of the natural world. The goal of physics is to use the results of these experiments to formulate scientific laws, usually expressed in the language of mathematics, which can then be used to predict other phenomena.
The Role of Physics in Science
In a broader sense, physics can be seen as the most fundamental of the natural sciences. Chemistry, for example, can be viewed as a complex application of physics, as it focuses on the interaction of energy and matter in chemical systems. We also know that biology is, at its heart, an application of chemical properties in living things, which means that it is also, ultimately, ruled by the physical laws.
