Principle: The deviation of a light ray from its rectilinear path, when it passes across objects
whose dimensions are comparable to the wavelength of light is called diffraction. The wavelength
of the light ray diffracted from the grating is given by the equation m λ = dsinθ, where m, λ , d,
and θ are order of diffraction, wavelength of light, grating constant and angle of diffraction
respectively. Diffraction is of two types 1) Fresnel’s Diffraction 2) Fraunhofer’s Diffraction.
Procedure:
1. Mount the diode laser on the laser holder.
2. Graph paper is fixed on the screen and the laser is focused on the grating and the
diffraction pattern is obtained on the graph sheet.
3. Determine the distance ‘D’ between grating element and the screen.
4. Mark the central maximum , I order diffraction and II order diffraction on the graph sheet
and measure the distance X1 and X2
5. Find the values of θ 1 and θ 2 and determine the values of λ1 and λ2 then find λ which is
the wavelength of given laser .

other. By applying a potential across the two plates an electric field is produced inside the space
between the two plates. By placing an electrically insulated material within the plates the
capacitance can be increased. The resulting capacitance of the parallel plate condenser is given by

A capacitor can be charged using a resistor and a DC source. The capacitor will charge
exponentially. The instantaneous voltage across the capacitor during charging is given by

Aim: To determine the Acceptance angle and Numerical aperture of the given optical fiber.
Principle: The Sine of the acceptance angle of an optical fiber is known as the numerical
aperture of the fiber. The acceptance angle can also be measured as the angle spread by the light
signal at the emerging end of the optical fiber. Therefore, by measuring the diameter of the light
spot on a screen and by knowing the distance from the fiber end to the screen, we can measure the
acceptance angle and there by the numerical aperture of the fibe

Note:
The values shown here are for the setup used for testing purpose. There may be slight
variation with the readings.
The source of error in this experiment is, marking of the dark circle. The diameter
markings should be done only on the dark circle, not for the outer circle. Refer the
diagram given above for correct markings. Error in this part would be more as it depends
on the eye sensitivity of the observer also.
Avoid staring at the light spot for longer times, as it will strain the eye quickly.
Do not view the laser light directly from source as it may damage eye permanently
Do not bend the fiber with sharp bending curvatures as it may damage the fiber
permanently.
Do not touch the fiber end points with bare hands as it may contaminate the fiber open end
surface and it may degrade the output quality.

The same phenomenon is also evident in electrical circuits containing the energy storing devices
like inductor and capacitor. When an inductor and capacitor are connected in series across an
alternating power supply with changing frequency , the resonance our. At particular value of the
frequency of AC , the inductive reactance (XL) becomes equal to capacitive reactance (XC), and
the impedance of LCR circuit becomes minimum. As a result the voltage across the circuit
becomes maximum. Now the circuit is said to be in resonance and the corresponding frequency of
AC is called resonance frequency .
Therefore 2∏ fr L = 1 / 2∏ frC
f2r = 1/ 4∏2 LC

fr =
2∏ √ LC
Where fr is called resonance frequency.
Under resonance condition the voltages across the inductance or capacitor is found to be several
times greater than the applied voltage. This phenomenon is called ‘Q’ rise of the voltage. The
quality factor ‘q’ is also defined as the ratio of inductive reactance to the resistance of the circuit
at resonance.
Q =ω0L/R
i.e. Q = 2∏ fr L
L is inductance and R is resistance.

Theory; resistance (R) of a conductor is defined as the opposition offered by the conductor to
the flow of electrical current through. The electrical resistance of a conductor depends on its
length (1) and the area of cross section (A) i.e. R therefore; [R=pl/A] where p is
proportionality constant called the resistivity of the conductor .
Resistivity is a property of the material and given the measure of the opposition offered
by the material during a current flow in it is property which change for material to
material. Resistivity arises due to the scattering of electron by the lattice vibration (phonons)
and the Presence of impurities and lattice imperfection. there resistivity are called ideal
resistivity are called resistivity and respectively Resistivity of a material varies with
temperature. In case of a material the resistivity increases with respect to the temperature.
While in case same conductor the resistivity decreases with in case in it temperature. While in

In same conductor low temperature all electron are bound the respective atom and bounded

Theory: Photodiodes are semiconductor devices that respond to high-energy particles and
photons. Radiation-sensitive junction is formed in a semiconductor material whose resistivity
changes when illuminated by light photons. The junction can be made to respond to the entire
electromagnetic spectrum.
Three major types of photodiodes are available in the market:
(i) PN junction photo diode,
(ii) PIN junction photo diode,
(iii) Avalanche photo diode (APD).
PN junction photodiodes comprise a two-electrode, radiation-sensitive PN junction formed in a
semiconductor material in which the reverse current varies with the amount of illumination. PIN
junction photodiodes are diodes with a large intrinsic region sandwiched between p-doped and n -
doped semiconducting regions.
Optical Characteristics
Responsivity (Rλ) :The degree of response of a silicon photodiode to light is a measure of its
sensitivity, and it is defined as the ratio of the photocurrent IPD to the incident light power P at a
given wavelength Rλ=IPD
P
Where IPD is photo diode current and
P is the light input power.
Responsivity is a measure of the effectiveness of the conversion of the light power into electrical
current. It varies with the wavelength of the incident light as well as applied reverse bias and

I-V Characteristics:
The current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of a photodiode is a set of curves relating the voltage
across the junction to the current flowing through it. When the photodiode is forward biased, there
is an exponential increase in the current similar to rectifier diode. When a reverse bias is applied,
a small reverse saturation current appears.
Part-A: Determination of Responsivity
The white light LED and PD are placed face-to-face 10cm apart (This is the industry standard for
any LED measurements). 5V power supply and transistor drives are provided for the LED .By
varying the pot in the emitter circuit the LED current is varied. A dial is provided for the
potentiometer which directly reads the LED input power (PLED= VLED x ILED).
1 The LED (white light) and PD are placed face to face and the light arrangement is
switchedon. LED power is set to 10mW by turning the knob to its minimum position. After
ensuring that the LED is glowing and while noting the PD current in the meter, the cover is
placed so that any external light will not affect the readings. Positive terminal of the PD (p)
is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply and negative of the PD is
connected to positive terminal of the power supply. This reverse biases the photo diode.
2. The voltage across PD is set to -1V by varying 0-3V power supply. The IPD is noted
3. The LED power is increased to 11mW and VPD is again set to -1V and the corresponding IPD
is noted.
4. The trial is repeated by varying the input power to 12mW, 13mW etc. reaching up to 50mW.
In each case VPD is set to -1V and IPD is noted.
5. A graph showing the variation of LED power(P LED) on X-axis and IPD on Y axis is drawn .A
straight line graph is obtained, slope of which gives the value of Responsivity.
The external conversion efficiency of white LED is 0.66, hence by dividing Responsivity
by 0.66 gives the exact Responsivity of the PD.
Part-B: Determination of I-V Characteristics of PD
In this part of the experiment PD current and voltage are recorded for different LED input powers.
1. The LED power is set to 10mW on the dial and V PD is set to -0.10V and the corresponding IPD
is noted.
2. The trial is repeated by increasing V PD in suitable steps up to a maximum of -2V. The
corresponding IPD values are noted.
3. The experiment is repeated by increasing the LED power to 20, 30, 40 and 50mW in steps. In
each case variation in VPD and corresponding IPD are noted.
4. A graph is drawn taking VPD along X-axis and IPD along Y-axis. The equal spacing between
characteristic curves indicates linearity of photo current with light intensity.

Aim: To determine the magnetic field intensity at the center of a circular coil carrying current
(by deflection method) as well as along the axis of the coil.
Apparatus: Digital gauss meter, AC power supply 2-12V, circular coil, search coil, pointer,
scale, connecting wires.
Theory:
Balfour Stewart and William Winston Haldane Gee designed an instrument to study the variation
of magnetic Field along the axis of a circular coil. It consists of a coil with specified number turns
of copper wire and a compass that can be moved along the axis of the coil. This simple apparatus
is still in use in most physics labs. The problem with this apparatus is, however, poor quality of
the magnetic compass used in it.
Hence, the magnetic field calculated using the deflection of the compass needle is not accurate.

Theory;
Electronic circuits consists of interconnection of component are classified into two categories
active passive element never supply more energy then they absorb active elements modify
energy passive components include resistors, capacitors, inductor. components considered
include batteries and generator.
Passive components cannot include net energy in to the circuit. the also cannot rely on a source
of power except for what is available form the(Ac)circuit they are connect to. as a consequence
they cannot amplify a; though they may increase voltage of currenr (such as done by transformer
or in resonance circuit). Passive components include two terminal components such as resistors,
capacitors and inductors.

described as the science of analyzing raw data to draw informed conclusions based on the data.
Data analysis methods and techniques are useful for finding insights in data, such as metrics,
facts, and figures. The two primary methods for data analysis are qualitative data analysis
techniques and quantitative data analysis techniques. These data analysis techniques can be used
independently or in combination with the other to help business leaders and decision-makers
acquire business insights from different data types.
