Physics - Profile



 
SCOPE OF PHYSICS:
The word 'Physics' comes from Ancient Greek Language which means “Nature” or “Knowledge of Nature”. Physics describes a wide range of phenomena ranging from the physical behaviour of microscopic particles that make up matter to the evolution of the entire Universe.
The goal of physics is to develop theories from which mathematical models can be derived to describe our observations.
One of the ambitious goals of physicists is to develop a single theory that describes the entire nature, instead of having multiple theories to describe different categories of phenomena. This is in contrast to other fields of science, as Rutherford famously quipped: “All science is either physics or stamp collecting”. That is, physicists hope that there exists one single mathematical theory that describes the entire physical world.

Depending on the time of theories developed, there are “Classical” and “Modern” Physics, which are subdivided into different areas of physics depending on the type of the phenomena they describe such as The Special and General Theories of Relativity, Electromagnetism, Quantum Mechanics, Condensed Matter Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, Cosmology, Astrophysics etc.

Thus, Physics is a branch of science that deals with the development of theories, designing and performing of experiments to study various phenomena occurring in Nature or Modern Technology and measure and compare the observable quantities in the phenomena.

 

OBJECTIVES:

✽   To provide knowledge and practical experience in basic and advanced Physics.

✽   To inculcate critical thinking while observing Physical phenomena.

✽   To develop employable skills for job opportunities in various fields of Physics and Renewable Energy sectors.


OUTCOMES:

✽   Understand the Physics underpins and get progression in almost every sphere of science, technology and industry

✽   Identify industrial problems related to physics and find solutions to them

✽   Organize and manage Physical Science Laboratories efficiently

✽   Able to operate modern Electric and Electronic instruments

 

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT:

The Government Degree College, Seethanagaram was established in the year 1983. 

The Department of Physics has been started functioning with two UG Programs namely B.Sc., M.P.C. since 2016 & M.P.Cs. since 2021 with sanctioned intake of 30 students.

The department is equipped with well-furnished laboratory and e-class room. The Department has one sanctioned post for teaching.

To motivate the students for their career in industry, our department organizes industrial visits.

Taking the advantage of the vicinity of industrial area, we also organize campus interviews in collaboration with J.K.C. for our students so as to get absorbed in Physics & Energy sector companies after completion of graduation
