Department of Physics

The department of Physics was established in the year 2015. Physics is the fundamental science studying matter, energy, motion, and forces, exploring how the universe works from the subatomic level to galaxies, using math to describe natural laws through theories and experiments, forming the basis for most technology and other sciences like chemistry and biology.

Vision

Physics of vision explains how light interacts with the eye's optics (cornea, lens) to form an image on the retina, detailing concepts like accommodation (focusing) via culinary muscles, refraction, and colour perception using photoreceptor cells (rods for low light, cones for colour). It covers light's journey from object reflection to neural signals, exploring wave particle duality, wavelength, and the physics-informed AI applications.

Mission

A "physics mission" generally refers to the goals of a physics department, program, or even a specific research project: to understand the fundamental laws of the universe, explain matter and energy, foster research, develop critical thinking, and apply physics knowledge to solve problems and drive technological innovation, often with a focus on education, skill building, and societal benefit. These missions vary but centre on advancing knowledge and its practical application.

Eligibility for Admission

Pass in Higher Secondary Examination with Mathematics.

Objectives

Understand Fundamental Laws: Uncover the basic rules governing matter, energy, and forces (e.g., gravity, electromagnetism).
Explain Phenomena: Develop theories and models to describe observable events, from subatomic particles to galaxies.
Predict Behaviour: Use mathematical models to forecast how systems will act under different conditions.
Unify Concepts: Find overarching frameworks that connect seemingly different areas of physics.
Quantitative Analysis: Precisely measure and describe physical quantities.
