M.Sc. in Physics(M.Sc.)

Physics is a branch of natural sciences. It deals with physical matter and energy; and the natural laws that govern the behavior of matter.  The core theories of Physics are: Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. There are many more branches of Physics including nuclear and particle physics
Physics plays a key role in the future progress of humankind. The physics education and research in all countries is important because:

• Physics is an exciting intellectual adventure that inspires the young people and expands the frontiers of our knowledge about Nature.
• Physics generates fundamental knowledge needed for the future technological advances that will continue to drive the economic engines of the world.
• Physics contributes to the technological infrastructure and provides trained personnel needed to take advantage of scientific advances and discoveries.
• Physics is an important element in the education of chemists, engineers and computer scientists, as well as practitioners of the other physical and biomedical sciences.
• Physics extends and enhances our understanding of other disciplines, such as the earth, agricultural, chemical, biological, and environmental sciences, plus astrophysics and cosmology - subjects of substantial importance to all peoples of the world.
• Physics improves our quality of life by providing the basic understanding necessary for developing new instrumentation and techniques for medical applications, such as computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, ultrasonic imaging, and laser surgery.

Thus, physics is an essential part of the educational system of an advanced society. Indian Society has embraced knowledge economy and its economic growth rate is one of the highest in the world. India has shown highest level of progress in engineering, space, nuclear, aeronautics and information and communication technologies. The subject of physics has played a major role in the development of country and India has produced 2 Nobel laureates in Physics.
In this context, University across the country offer Physics as a subject at undergraduate and physics as a programme at postgraduate level.

M. Sc. Physics at REVA UNIVERSITY has been designed to meet the human resources needs of existing and futuristic research establishments, industries and academic institutions. The programme is designed to produce graduates with higher order critical, analytical, problem solving and research  skills;   ability   to   think   rigorously   and   independently   to   meet   higher   level expectations of industries, research organization and academic institutions. The programme deals with courses in classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, material science, semiconductors, electrodynamics and related areas.
