APPLIED PHYSICS
(CSE, ECE, EEE, IT, EIE, E.Com.E)

OBJECTIVES: Physics curriculum which is re-oriented to the needs of Circuital branches of graduate engineering
courses offered by JNTUniv.Kkd. that serves as a transit to understand the branch specific
advanced topics. The courses are designed to:
• Impart Knowledge of Physical Optics phenomena like Interference, Diffraction and
Polarization involving required to design instruments with higher resolution.
• Teach Concepts of coherent sources, its realization and utility optical instrumentation.
• Study the concepts regarding the bulk response of materials to the EM fields and their
analytically study in the back-drop of basic quantum mechanics.
• Understand the physics of Semiconductors and their working mechanism for their utility
in sensors.
UNIT-I
INTERFERENCE: Principle of Superposition – Coherent Sources – Interference in
thin films (reflection geometry) – Newton’s rings – construction and basic principle of
Interferometers.

UNIT-II
DIFFRACTION: Fraunhofer diffraction at single slit - Cases of double slit, N-slits &
Circular Aperture (Qualitative treatment only)-Grating equation - Resolving power of a
grating, Telescope and Microscopes.

UNIT-III
POLARIZATION: Types of Polarization – Methods of production - Nicol Prism -
Quarter wave plate and Half Wave plate – Working principle of Polarimeter
(Sacharimeter).
LASERS: Characteristics– Stimulated emission – Einstein’s Transition Probabilities-
Pumping schemes - Ruby laser – Helium Neon laser.

UNIT-IV
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS: Scalar and Vector Fields – Electric Potential-
Gradient, Divergence of fields – Gauss and Stokes theorems-Propagation of EM waves
through dielectric medium.

UNIT-V
QUANTUM MECHANICS: Introduction - Matter waves – Schröedinger Time
Independent and Time Dependent wave equations – Particle in a box.
FREE ELECTRON THEORY: Defects of Classical free electron theory –Quantum
Free electron theory - concept of Fermi Energy.
UNIT-VI
BAND THEORY OF SOLIDS: Bloch’s theorem (qualitative) – Kronig – Penney model
– energy bands in crystalline solids – classification of crystalline solids– effective mass
of electron & concept of hole.
SEMICONDUCTOR PHYSICS: Conduction – Density of carriers in Intrinsic and
Extrinsic semiconductors – Drift & Diffusion – relevance of Einstein’s equation- Hall
effect in semiconductors

Outcome: Construction and working details of instruments, ie., Interferometer, Diffractometer


and Polarimeter are learnt. Study EM-fields and semiconductors under the concepts of
Quantum mechanics paves way for their optimal utility.
