This text on practical physics has been primarily writing to cover all experiments as per revised NEP-2020 Syllabus for acadamic year 2025-2026 prescribed for all scheme of Second Year B.Sc. Physics Minor by University of Mumbai. It is our endeavor to present the experiments in proper form and also suggest to setup basic skills experiments. We reasonably feel that this text will enable students to perform experiments with confidence and understanding. The procedure of each experiment is given sequentially. The observations tables are given for proper presentation of various measured quantities. All the necessary diagrams are given for proper setting setup of the Apparatus. All the required circuit diagrams, graphs, formula are provided. Precautions which are to be taken while performing experiments are given necessary.
