OUTCOMES:
On completion of the course students will be able to
• Calculate elastic properties of materials, such as Young’s modulus & Rigidity modulus (of
solids) and Bulk modulus (through compressibility of liquids).
• Measure various optical and thermal properties of materials (such as wavelengths of spectral
lines & Laser source, acceptance angle &numerical aperture of fiber optical cable and
thermal conductivity of media).
• Analyse water quality parameters.
• Be familiar in the use of instruments for chemical analysis.
• Measure the corrosion rate in metals.
