ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This project would not have been possible without the support and guidance of our teacher Mr. Shathrunjay Singh, our laboratory in-charge teacher Mrs. Sudha and the laboratory assistants, who were always there to give us a helping hand and sort out the nuances of the procedures, experimentation and Physics.

I would also like to thank the Principle of our school, Mrs. Sumitra Das, and the school itself, for providing us an conducive environment for the study and pursuit of ideas.

Finally, I thank the Central Board of Secondary Education for incorporating the experimentally rigorous parts of the Physics into our curriculum so that we may graduate with an all-round knowledge of the subject, and be better prepared in pursuing multidisciplinary endeavours in the future.
