Programme – B.Sc. (Hon’s) PHYSICS

1. PROGRAMMES OBJECTIVES OF B.Sc. (Hon’s) PHYSICS

Students will be enabled to-
1. The graduate students will become successful professionals by demonstrating
logical methods and analytical thinking abilities.
2. The students will engage in life-long learning and professional
development through self-study, continuing education or professional and
doctoral level studies.
3. The graduate students will work and communicate effectively in inter-disciplinary
environment, either independently or in a team, and demonstrate leadership
qualities.

2. Programme Outcomes.
PO1: Evaluate hypotheses, theories, methods and evidence within their proper
contexts.
PO2: Critically interpret data, write reports and apply the basics of rules of evidence.
PO3: Select, interpret and critically evaluate information from a range of sources that
include books, scientific reports, journals, case studies and the internet.
PO4: Develop proficiency in the analysis of complex physical problems and the use
of mathematical or other appropriate techniques to solve them.
PO5: Demonstrate skills in the use of computers for control, data acquisition, and
data analysis in experimental investigations.
PO6: Recognize the need to engage in lifelong learning through continuing
education and research.
PO7: Solve complex problems by critical understanding, analysis and synthesis.
PO8: Demonstrate engagement with current research and developments in the
subject.

3. Assessment and Attainment criteria and levels:

1. Direct Assessment (80%):

a. University Exams (70%)

b. Sessional Exams (30%) including Continuous assessment and Assignment, Quiz

&surprise test etc.

2. Indirect Assessment (20%): i.e. Course Exit Survey.

University Examination:
1. Attainment Level 1: 60% students scoring more than 50% marks out of the relevant
maximum marks.
2. Attainment Level 2: 70% students scoring more than 50% marks out of the relevant
maximum marks.
3. Attainment Level 3: 80% students scoring more than 50% marks out of the relevant
maximum marks
Sessional Examination:
1. Attainment Level 1: 60% students scoring more than 50% marks out of the relevant
maximum marks.
2. Attainment Level 2: 70% students scoring more than 50% marks out of the relevant
maximum marks.
3. Attainment Level 3: 80% students scoring more than 50% marks out of the relevant
maximum marks.

Course End Survey

1. Attainment Level 1: Average score of 60% students is more than 3 (on a scale of 5).
2. Attainment Level 2: Average score of 70% students is more than 3 (on a scale of 5).
3. Attainment Level 3: Average score of 80% students is more than 3 (on a scale of 5)
Course: B.Sc. (Hon’s) PHYSICS Semester: V

SUBJECT: Quantum Mechanics And Applications SUBJECT CODE: BSC-H-PHY-501

Course Objectives:
1. To acquire basic knowledge about Schrodinger equation.
2. To develop concept of bound states in an arbitrary potential.
3. To bring knowledge about quantum theory of hydrogen-like atoms.

Course Outcome(s): After completion of this course the student will be able to:

CO1: To develop a knowledge and understanding of the concept that quantum states live in a
vector space.
CO2: To solve quantum mechanics problems.
CO3: Formulation of Schrödinger equation-time dependent and time independent forms.
CO4: To derive energy Eigen value and eigen functions particle in a box and 1-D harmonic
oscillator.
CO5: To formulate the Schrödinger wave equation in terms of spherical polar co-ordinates for
its application to solve Hydrogen atom problem.
