सवाल

Which syllabus does this course follow?

It follows the UP State Universities NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus for B.Sc. Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre teaches your university's units and papers.

Are numericals practised?

Yes. Every unit has solved examples and practice numericals at university exam level.

Is the Raman effect covered in depth?

Yes - classical and quantum explanations, Stokes / anti-Stokes lines and C.V. Raman's 1928 discovery are covered.
