Mechanics and electrodynamics of continuous media: fluid dynamics streamline and<br />

vortex motion; Bernauli's theorem; elasticity; vibrations; electromagnetic fields in<br />

material media; macroscopic electrical and magnetic properties of matter.<br />

Practical<br />

In general the practical would be developed and set up by the instructors depending<br />

upon the available equipments. However some suggested practicals are as follows;<br />

Measurements on motion of different types; surface tension; viscosity; density; sedimentation<br />

rates; centrifugation; measurement of electrical field; potential;<br />

potentiometer; wheat stone's bridge; electrical resistance measurement; dielectric<br />

measurement; capacity measurement; conduction currents; internal resistance; Interference<br />

of light-Newton's Ring experiment; Fressnel's Bi-prism experiment;<br />

spectrometers; prisms as spectral dispersing materials; diffraction gratings;<br />

spectrophotometer; Beer-Lambert's law; transmittance / absorbance curves with<br />

changes in wavelengths; polarimeter and optical rotation; light intensity measurements;<br />

photometers; pyranometer; albedometer; net radiometer;<br />
