SEMESTER VI
The T. Y. B. Sc. Syllabus integrates the regular practical work with a series of
demonstration and skillexperiments. During t he teaching and examination of Physics
laboratory work, simple modifications of ex perimental parameters may be attempted.
Attention should be given to basic skills of experimentation which include: 1) Understanding relevant concepts. 2) Planning of t he experiments.
3) Layout and adjustment s of the equipments.
4) Recording of observati ons and plotting of graphs.
5) Calculation of results and estimation of po ssible errors in the observation of results.
i) Regular Physics Experiments: A minimum of 8 experiments from each of the
practical course are to be perfo rmed and reported in the journal.
ii) Demo Experiments : The demonstration experiments are to be performed by the
teacher in the laboratory and students s hould be encouraged to participate and take
observation wherever possible. Demonstration experiment s are designed to bri ng about interest and
excitement in Physics. Students are r equired to enter details of these
‘demo’ experiments in their journal.
The certified journal must contain a mini mum of 16 regular experiments (8 from each
practical course), with minimum 6 demonstr ation experiments in semester VI. A
separate index and certific ate in journal is must for each semester course.
There will be two turns of three hours each for the examination of practical courses
