Practical Physics for B.Sc. Students

Description

Practical Physics for B.Sc. Students by Dr. Rajesh Verma and Dr. P. K. Gangwar is crafted for B.Sc. students, aligning with the 3rd Semester Major and Minor syllabi of Dibrugarh, RTU, and various Indian Universities and Autonomous Colleges across India as per the FYUGP framework. This book provides a comprehensive guide to practical experiments in physics, offering clear instructions, theoretical background, and detailed procedures. It serves as an essential resource for students to develop hands-on skills and a deeper understanding of experimental physics.
