HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT
Physics - the study of matter, energy and their interactions - is an international enterprise, which plays a key role in the future progress of humankind. Physics is an exciting intellectual adventure that inspires young people and expands the frontiers of our knowledge about Nature. It generates fundamental knowledge needed for the future technological advances that will continue to drive the economic engines of the world. It contributes to the technological infrastructure and provides trained personnel needed to take advantage of scientific advances and discoveries. Physics extends and enhances our understanding of other disciplines, such as the earth, agricultural, chemical, biological, environmental sciences, astrophysics and cosmology - subjects of substantial importance to all people of the world. Knowledge of physics improves our quality of life by providing the basic understanding necessary for developing new instrumentation and techniques for medical applications, such as computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, ultrasonic imaging and laser surgery.
The department of Physics was established in the year 1986. The department is equipped with modern lab to improve the knowledge and skills of the students to face the challenges in their professional career. The department has qualified and experienced staffs who are actively involved in teaching and research work.
Laboratory is well equipped with sophisticated instruments like optical bench (research Quality), LASER source, Ultrasonic interferometer, Spectrometer, planks constant apparatus etc.
