The Physics Laboratories are equipped to support introductory experiments in mechanics, fluids, sound, waves, electric and magnetic fields, and optics. They are also equipped to support more advanced physics experiments such as spectrum of gases, interferometry, photo-electric effect, electron to mass ratio, electron beam deflection by electric and magnetic forces, and X-rays. These experiments are performed with the help of a variety of precise and/or complex instruments that include electron tubes, an X-ray machine, precision interferometers, spectrometers, acoustic devices, an optic table, oscilloscopes, function generators, helium-neon lasers, and a complete microwave optics system. One of the labs is designed to perform light sensitive experiments in optics. The department also has its own weather station, providing a variety of weather-related data.
