Preface
The most important and crucial stage of school education is the higher secondary level. This is the transition level from a generalised curriculum to a discipline-based curriculum. In order to pursue their career in basic sciences and professional courses, students take up Physics as one of the subjects. To provide them sufficient background to meet the challenges of academic and professional streams, the Physics textbook for Std. XI has been reformed, updated and designed to include basic information on all topics. Each chapter starts with an introduction, followed by subject matter. All the topics are presented with clear and concise treatments. The chapters end with solved problems and self evaluation questions. Understanding the concepts is more important than memorising. Hence it is intended to make the students understand the subject thoroughly so that they can put forth their ideas clearly. In order to make the learning of Physics more interesting, application of concepts in real life situations are presented in this book. Due importance has been given to develop in the students, experimental and observation skills. Their learning experience would make them to appreciate the role of Physics towards the improvement of our society. The following are the salient features of the text book.
