ATTENDANCE
We teach concepts There is no single Text book This is the reason why YOU SHOULD ATTEND ALL THE CLASSES 100% attendance is an ABSOLUTE requirement

***If you pass an examination in the second

attempt (because of either U or W grade in the first attempt), it WILL be recorded so in your grade sheets***

The Standard Model of Forces

Forces result from the exchange of particles: Electromagnetism photon Strongnuclear gluons(8) Weaknuclearweakbosons(4) (Noquantumtheoryofgravityasyet) Whiletheseforceparticlesaredescribedby quantumfieldsinthetheory,nocontinuous medium, liketheaether,isinvolved.

So, it is all the same whether we talk of - Forces - Matter - Energy It is only the language of Physics. The Conservation of Energy, Conservation of Matter and Conservation of Charge are of fundamental importance These are the basic laws of Nature These basic laws of Nature can also be Derived from Symmetry .

TransformationsandInvariance Transformations Changesfromone referenceframe to another.

y

Invariance A physics equation is invariant if it does not change under a transformation.

Covarient : The formula looks the same but meaning of each term is different
