Physics Department

INTRODUCTION

The main goal of the physics department is to offer quality education to undergraduates and provide them with a holistic approach to the physical principles of the universe. Furthermore, it aims to enable them to think creatively and critically about scientific problems and experiments. This, in turn, can them develop quantitative reasoning skills andconduct training sessions for students' planning careers in physics. It includes those whose interests lie in college/university teaching, industrial jobs or other sectors of human society. Unprecedented developments in all the areas of science and technology are based on the understanding of the physical laws of nature. Physics plays a very important role in recent technological advancement in industry and other social sectors. This can lead to light the intrinsic motivation in exploring the hidden mysteries in nature and find their solutions.

Keeping in view the importance of Physics, the QUEST has begun a Bachelor of Science (BS) program in Physics from batch 2021. The department offers a four-year (8 semesters) undergraduate program for the degree of BS (Physics). This program includes foundational courses such as Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Waves and Oscillations, Modern Physics, Optics, etc. The major courses included are Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetic Theory-I and II, Quantum Mechanics-I and II, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Solid State Physics-I and II, Nuclear Physics, and Fluid dynamics. In addition, the students will have access to laboratories where they can perform experiments as a compulsory part of their course structure. The laboratory work provides the climax experience to the core courses, gathering the knowledgeacquired in different theoretical courses and bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge taught in textbooks problems and the experimental foundations of this knowledge.
