The Physics Department of Kirori Mal College has a very dedicated, energetic, dynamic, and research-oriented faculty of a group of twenty-nine rationalists. The department has a rich set of spacious laboratories – 5 Physics Labs and a Microprocessor and Microcontroller Lab. Though each Lab is dedicated to a particular set of experiments, each lab can actually accommodate almost all Physics experiments performed in undergraduate studies. Of the five Physics labs, three are equipped with dark rooms for performing optics experiments. The well-ventilated labs of the Physics department are designed to ensure cross-ventilation as well as to suit the operations of Air Conditioning in the sultry summers of Delhi. To be precise and concise, the following is a non-exhaustive list of experiments (experimental setups) that are performed in the Physics Department

Physics Lab 2
Dark Room – The point that is worth mentioning is the presence of a version of the functional Michelson interferometer. Michelson interferometer and Michelson- Morley experiment is credited for its null result and the uproar it caused that in effect resulted in the inspiration for postulation of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity
Anderson bridge experiments, frequency generators, CROs
Ballistic Galvanometer room, CDR
Moment of Inertia experiment
Young’s Modulus
Physics Lab 3
Physics Lab 3 is mainly allotted to the experiment of the third year of BSc. However, this lab is also provisioned with experiments to cater to other years too. One particular aspect that deserves special mention is the dedicated space allotted to Robotic activities where students and teacher mentors work on projects like NASA Lunabotics.
