ICSE Practical Physics - X

The salient features of the book are:
m Simple, lucid and easy to understand language.
m Each relevant concept and experimental set-up has been clearly explained and supported by a large number of clear illustrative diagrams.
m The description of the experiments is preceded by introductory articles, explaining the background knowledge necessary for a successful performance of the experiments.
m Since Graphs form an essential part of practical work, a comprehensive note explaining all the essential details about them has been provided in the initial introductory chapter. This should go a long way in helping the students do their practical work with greater confidence and clarity.
m Each measuring apparatus being characterised by its own ‘least count’, the importance of the concepts of ‘order of magnitude’ and ‘significant digits’ cannot be overemphasised. Therefore, these have also been discussed in detail right at the start of the book.
m Experiments of a similar kind have been grouped together and presented as a single ‘Unit’.
m Each ‘Unit’ begins with a detailed ‘Basic Background Knowledge’ that gives the necessary definitions, formulae, theory, description of apparatus, etc., for the experiments of that unit.
m To help the student face the ‘Viva Voce’ with confidence, a set of ‘Review Questions with Answers’ is provided at the end of each unit.
