This book is written specifically for the students of intermediate (or Higher Secondary) standard. Keeping in view of the standard of their education, the book is written in simple and lucid language. Each of the experiments written in the book comprises necessary introductions and theoretical details alongwith stepwise procedure for performing practicals, so that they can easily follow this book in their Laboratory classes. Whenever needed the experiments are followed by Viva-Vice questions along with their answers. These questions will help the students to guide them for their college practical examinations in advance.

"I want to get at the blown glass of the early cloud chambers and the oozing noodles of wet nuclear emulsion; to the resounding crack of a high-voltage spark arcing across a high-tension chamber and leaving the lab stinking of ozone; to the silent, darkened room, with row after row of scanners sliding trackballs across projected bubble-chamber images. Pictures and pulses--I want to know where they came from, how pictures and counts got to be the bottom-line data of physics." (from the preface)
"Image and Logic" is the most detailed engagement to date with the impact of modern technology on what it means to "do" physics and to be a physicist. At the beginning of this century, physics was usually done by a lone researcher who put together experimental apparatus on a benchtop. Now experiments frequently are larger than a city block, and experimental physicists live very different lives: programming computers, working with industry, coordinating vast teams of scientists and engineers, and playing politics.
Peter L. Galison probes the material culture of experimental microphysics to reveal how the ever-increasing scale and complexity of apparatus have distanced physicists from the very science that drew them into experimenting, and have fragmented microphysics into different technical traditions much as apparatus have fragmented atoms to get at the fundamental building blocks of matter. At the same time, the necessity for teamwork in operating multimillion-dollar machines has created dynamic "trading zones," where instrument makers, theorists, and experimentalists meet, share knowledge, and coordinate the extraordinarily diverse pieces of the culture of modern microphysics: work, machines, evidence, and argument.

Learn about the Physics of Balls Rocking, Rolling, Falling, Bouncing, & Flying Force, Trajectory, Velocity, & Acceleration In this book, readers gain access to real scientific data pertaining to balls, promoting graph-reading, comparison, contrast, and calculation skills. Graphs show data from the following scientific instruments: Video Analysis Dual-Range Force Meter This book allows readers to analyze real data without purchasing expensive lab equipment. This volume focuses on an assortment of balls, including a kickball andwiffle ball, hard and soft clay balls, and a set of bean-filled cloth hackeysacks, plus styrofoam balls, puffy pom-poms, and an irregularly-shaped ball. Graphs show the motion of these balls as they are roll on flat and inclined surfaces, bounce, and fly through the air. These balls were deliberately chosen because their motion provides a greater range of variety than the balls studied earlier in the series. The graphs and data contained in this book can be used by teachers and parents to supplement traditional lesson plans. Bonus Material: Several graphs provide additional data on the wiffle ball, including initial force for a straight trajectory and rocking motion on a flat surface. The appendix also contains pictures of soft clay balls which have deformed due to impact with a hard wood surface.

Graphs show the motion of a tennis ball, cricket ball, racquetball, lacrosse ball, softball, field hockey ball, street hockey balls (high and low density), and Swedish hockey puck-handling ball as they fly through the air. Some graphs also show the balls hitting a wall and bouncing back. The graphs and data contained in this book can be used by teachers and parents to supplement traditional lesson plans. Bonus Material: For comparison and contrast, a selection of balls from Volume 3 are provided. Graphs show data from a basketball, soccer ball, volleyball, dodge ball, 3 baseballs (official, safety, and plastic), 3 golf balls (official, foam and plastic), a ping pong ball, and a plastic apple as they fly through the air. Several of these graphs also show the trajectory of balls bouncing off a wall.
