.B.Sc. I Semester (Physics Lab)
1. Study the variation of the time period with amplitude in large-angle oscillations using
a compound pendulum.
2. To study the damping using a coupled pendulum.
3. To study the excitation of normal modes and measure frequency splitting into two
coupled oscillators.
4. To study the frequency of energy transfer as a function of coupling with mass using
coupled oscillators.
5. To study the viscous fluid damping of a compound pendulum and determiner the
damping coefficient and quality factor of the oscillator.
