, Physics Laboratory Instructions
to students
(I) Laboratory work is an important part of the course and satisfactory
completion of it is required. Your performance in the laboratory is taken
into account in evaluating the performance in the course. The laboratory
grade is based on your performance in the weekly sessions, the reports you
write and on your performance in examination on laboratory work.
(II) You are being provided with write-ups containing instructions on various
experiments. You are expected to read the matter given in the write-ups
and also from the references suggested by your instructor.
(III) Before coming to the laboratory session you must carefully read the
instructions given for performing the experiment of the day. Unless you
come fully prepared with this background material you will not be able to
complete the required work and, what is more, you will miss the
opportunity of learning all aspects of the experiment. Lack of background
often makes the experiment uninteresting and much more time has to be
spent later for an understanding of the points missed. Thus, for your own
benefit, prior study of the instruction sheet is very important. Also, if you
are unprepared, you will not do well in the oral questions asked during the
session.
(IV) Printed Report Sheets shall be made available to you. All work must be
done in ink. You must get at least one observation each kind checked and
signed by your instructor, failing which your report will not be graded.
You must complete all experiment work during the session. Every
observation made must be recorded directly on the report sheet. No rough
record is allowed. Before you leave the laboratory you must get the
instructor’s signature on your report sheet.
(V) On the first day in this laboratory you will know your instructor and your
partner with whom you will be doing your experiments throughout the
semester. The instructor will impart some basic instructions to you about
the laboratory.
(VI) Following is the list of experiments which you will perform during the
semester:
• To determine the wavelength of Sodium Light by Newton’s Ring
apparatus.

, • To determine the wavelength of a monochromatic light with the help of
Fresnel’s Bi prism.
• To determine the wavelength of different spectral lines by using plane
transmission grating
• To determine the specific rotation of cane sugar using biquartz
polarimeter
• To determine the focal length of the combination of two lenses
separated by a distance and verify the formula for the combination of
lenses.
• To measure the given resistance using Carey Foster’s Bridge.
• To determine electro-chemical equivalent (E.C.E) of Copper.
• To verify Stefan’s law.
• To study the variation of magnetic field with distance along the axis of
a current carrying coil and then to estimate the radius of the coil.
• To determine the coefficient of viscosity of a liquid by rotating cylinder
method.
