Common Mistakes to Avoid in Class 12 Physics Practical Exams?

Here are some common mistakes to avoid in Class 12 Physics 

Practical Exams that you should improve when practising using the NCERT Class 12 Physics Lab Manual PDF for free of cost. 

  • Not reading the instructions carefully: Many Class 12 students lose marks by not reading the instructions carefully or skipping steps in the Physics experiment. It is important to read the instructions thoroughly before starting the experiment and to follow each step carefully to avoid any type of confusion and doubts.
  • Not taking accurate measurements: The CBSE Class 12 Physics experiments require accurate measurements. Students should take care to use measuring instruments correctly and record their measurements accurately. It is also important to pay attention to units and significant figures. Because these are the most common mistakes Class 12 students often make in the Physics Practical exam.
  • Not understanding the concepts: Physics practical work is not just about following procedures; it requires an understanding of the concepts covered. CBSE Class 12 Students should take care to understand the physics principles or theory involved in the experiment, as this will help them interpret their results and draw conclusions.
  • Not being organized: A messy representation of Practical work also creates several confusions. Class 12 Physics practical exams often involve multiple experiments to be completed within a limited time. Class 12 Students should be organized and manage their time effectively to complete all Physics experiments within the given time frame.
  • Not presenting the results clearly: In addition to performing the Physics experiment of Class 12, students need to present their results clearly and accurately. It is important to mention the graphs and tables correctly, include units and uncertainties, and provide a clear explanation of the Class 12 Physics Practical results.

Gordon Gilmore , David Joss

The cutting-edge new edition of the classic introduction to radioactive measurement

Gammy-Ray Spectrometry is a key technique in the study of radioactive decay. It measures the rate and extent of radioactivity from a variety of sources, both natural and artificial, including cosmic ray sources, nuclear reactors, high-energy physics experiments, and more. The resulting data can be essential to environmental monitoring and to a range of experimental sciences.

For years, Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry has served as the classic introduction to this area for current or aspiring practitioners. A comprehensive but accessible treatment of the subject, with a thorough discussion of all major classes of detectors and their associated electronic systems, it contains everything a researcher needs to make optimal gamma-ray measurements. Now fully updated to reflect the latest technology and experimental data, it is a must-own for researchers looking to incorporate gamma-ray spectrometry into their scientific practice.

Readers of the third edition of Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry will also find:

  • Fault-finding guide for rapid and effective problem resolution
  • Workshop-style approach emphasizing the fundamentals of laboratory practice
  • New sections dealing with novel developments in nuclear structure research, measuring effects of pollution and climate change, new semiconductor detectors, and more

Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry is ideal for PhD students and practicing gamma-ray spectroscopists, including researchers working on radiation, energy and environmental monitoring professionals, and researchers working in physics, archaeometry, and related subjects.

Gordon Gilmore, PhD, worked at the Universities Research Reactor (owned by Manchester and Liverpool Universities and now decommissioned) using gamma spectrometry, originally as an adjunct to chemical analysis, at a time when detectors and instrumentation were being developed from their relatively primitive beginnings to their modern sophisticated forms. That 25 years of experience, along with the late John Hemingway, led to the publication of the first edition of this work, with the intention of sharing a deep understanding of gamma spectrometry with the expanding population of gamma spectrometrists within universities and many establishments where radioactivity is used or studied. After his retirement from the University, as a director of Nuclear Training Services Ltd., he was called upon to lecture, develop methods and advise on setting up gamma spectrometry facilities. He is an Honorary Professor at the University of Liverpool.

David Joss, PhD, is Professor of Physics at the University of Liverpool, UK, where he teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses in nuclear physics. His research focuses on understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus using gamma-ray spectroscopy with large spectrometer arrays. He has published over 200 research articles from his research. He is a Fellow in the Institute of Physics and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
