Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for conducting practical physics experiments, offering invaluable insights and instructions for students and instructors alike. The author emphasizes the importance of precision and understanding in experimental work, urging students to actively engage with the principles underlying each experiment. The text delves into fundamental concepts such as length, mass, and time, providing clear explanations and detailed procedures for measurement using instruments like the vernier and micrometer screw gauge. Concepts of specific gravity and the properties of gases are explored through experiments involving Archimedes' principle and Boyle's Law. The book then ventures into the realm of motion, guiding readers through exercises with Atwood's machine to verify Newton's laws and determine gravitational acceleration. Light and its behaviour are investigated through experiments on reflection, refraction, and image formation, employing techniques like the method of parallax. The exploration continues with heat, magnetism, and electricity, covering topics such as thermal expansion, calorimetry, magnetic fields, and electrical resistance. The book concludes with insightful guidance on recording and presenting experimental results effectively. Through its meticulous approach to practical physics, this book equips readers with the knowledge and skills to not only perform experiments but to truly grasp the profound principles that govern the physical world.
