PHYSICS

About the Subject

Physics is said to be the originator of all sciences, initially labeled as natural philosophy. The classification of sciences into physical, chemical and biological suggested Physical Sciences or Physics to be the science of inanimate matter and the various laws and processes prevalent in the Universe. Mathematics forms an integral part of the subject while technology is the immediate application of the subject. A working knowledge of Physics up to Std XII is mandatory for entrance examinations not only for undergraduate professional courses, but also for post graduate courses in institutions like the I.I.T.

The applications of Physics in Electronics, Computer technology, Communication, LASERs, Energy systems, Nuclear Technology, Space mission etc are well know and the current need of promoting interdisciplinary research sees its importance in emerging areas of Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Nano-biotechnology etc. Fundamental physics helps us understand how universe was formed & how it is evolving.

I have been teaching Physics since 2003, though I joined Sophia Jr. College in July 2023. I have experience of school teaching for the Maharashtra State Board, as well as the ICSE curriculum. Worked as a Staff-in-charge for Science Exhibitions. My expertise is in project and activity-based teaching. I am also interested in sacred choral music and play the guitar.
