Sub. Code and Title: PH 0101‐Physics for Technologists
The following lesson scheme and plan (under the guidance of Prof. John Thiruvadigal, Dept. of Physics, SRM‐U) have
been prepared by Dr. Alagiriswamy A A (a.alagiriswamy@gmail.com), Dept. of Physics, SRM‐U, Chennai. The lesson
scheme/schedule plans comprise of five chapters on properties of matter/sound, electromagnetism and microwaves, optics,
crystal physics and cryogenics, and finally energy physics. This scheme is provided for both the learners and all faculty
especially who teach PH 0101. The list of instructions may be followed by a faculty relating to the schedule of his/her own
warm‐up period, controlled/free practice, and their respective feedback. Here, there are expected learning outcomes and
unique outputs. The followings may of the form;
Demonstrate proficiency in the basic subfields of physics (classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum
mechanics, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics), as well as areas of application (e.g. solid state physics, optics,
etc…).
Apply physical principles to novel situations, both in the classroom and in research settings, through critical thinking,
problem solving, mathematical and computer modeling, and laboratory experimentation.
Construct and assemble experimental apparatuses, conduct and analyze measurements of physical phenomena,
assess experimental uncertainty, and make meaningful/useful comparisons of various aspects between experiment
and theory.
During the motivation class, a faculty may be requested to intimate the students of their individual responsibilities as well as
the standard formulation coupled with other instructions. It may be of the form;
Faculty’s responsibility on
1st yr students 80 – 90 %
2nd yr students 50 – 60 %
3rd yr students 20 – 30 %
4th yr students ≤ 20 %
It is worth to mention that a faculty handling the first year course must play a vital role in assessing the students’ qualities
initially and ensure that the remaining inputs from the students must be coupled with the parents’ responsibilities. This
tooling factor complements to fulfill the substantial requirements of the teaching/learning pedagogy in our institute.
Irrespective of the above‐mentioned, a faculty’s responsibility on teaching has to be well modulated depending upon the
different batches. For an instance, more of partial differential eqns. required for the students who belong to the
“Mechanical/Civil Engineering” batches when a faculty teaches on “heat‐diffusion” models and other extends various concepts
to the different batches. The notion is to modulate the students’ interests along with the illustrations/examples, inorder to
provide a unique output irrespective of the batches, a faculty handles.
The total number of lectures are planned to be 45 hrs. Furthermore, a learner is advised to follow the text book (7th
edition) of “Physics for Technologists”, D. J. Thiruvadigal etal, and is published most recently by “Vibrant Publications”, June
2009. The course will be supported with web‐based supplementary resources and problems. Recommended websites to the
