A FEW EXPERIMENTAL UNITS FOR CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF DEEP CONCEPTS
OF PHYSICS
(The Apparatus is available on demand on no profit no loss basis)
The weakness of laboratory education in India is being discussed
over the years or even over decades. There are three aspects of
this problem:
i) Academic content ii) Technical contents and iii) Financial
needs
The academic content of lab work depends upon the teachers and
to some extent upon academic managers. The Technical feasibility
and utility of measurement requires development work by competent
and knowledgeable peoples. The third component of money depends
upon the society.
Prof. Babulal Saraf has been working to develop experiments
with a view to communicate through them the 'hard to understand'
and deep concepts of physics for nearly the past fifty years. He
has developed all the experiments discussed below. For the last
few years he is working in IPS Academy as the Director of Institute
of Science and Laboratory education. The experiments are useful
at all level of teaching right from high school to post graduate
classes.
The apparatus can also be very effectively used as a teaching
aid in classroom teaching particularly in higher secondary (10 +2)
Physics Classes. With each equipment a special note is given as
to how it can be useful in classroom teaching.
In designing the experiments a special care is taken in selection
of components such that the desired phenomenon becomes prominent
and visual.
