Course Description This course intends to familiarize students with the literature and discourses around gender. It is planned as an exercise in reading literary texts so as to expand the understanding of gender beyond the masculine and feminine. It is also an attempt to bring the students up to date with the recent arguments relating to sexuality, body and performance of gender roles. By the end of the course the students should be able to successfully analyse and critique socio-cultural constructions of gender. Course Outcome Analyze and critique literary and theoretical texts with the view to understanding the role gender plays in our individual and collective lives.Delineate the way patriarchal power structures function in the oppression of the sexes.Comprehend discourses around feminism and masculinity studies.Understand the various categories related to gender (heteronormative, queer, trans) and the socio- cultural narratives around them.

Optics is a branch of physics that deals with the determination of behaviour and the properties of light, along with its interactions with the matter and also with the instruments which are used to detect it. Optics, in a simple manner, is used to describe the behaviour of visible light, infrared light, and the ultraviolet. Photonics is the physical science of light (photon) generation, detection, and manipulation through emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, and sensing. Under this topic, we will study about light phenomenons-Interference, Diffraction and Polarization and about Lasers, holography and fibre-optics.

Atomic physics is the field of physics that studies atoms as an isolated system of electrons and an atomic nucleus. It is primarily concerned with the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus and the processes by which these arrangements change. Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies the constituents (protons and neutrons) and interactions of atomic nuclei. The most commonly known applications of nuclear physics are nuclear power generation. Modern nuclear physics contains also particle physics, which is taught in close association with nuclear physics.

Thermal Physics is a vital branch of Physics and covers various topics like thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, kinetic theory etc. Thermal Physics deals with diverse branches including key areas like the study of heat, temperature and heat transfer. The various concepts of thermodynamics are closely related to thermal energy which is one of the basic forms of energy. These concepts have far-reaching applications. In most of the energy transformations, there is a production of thermal energy in the form of heat. Thermal physics also forms the basis of various ancient cycles of heat. This is also the reason behind the invention of the steam engine, rotors, shipments and various other revolutionary machines.COURSE OUTCOME CO 1: Understand the concept of temperature, the thermodynamic state and equilibrium.CO2: Explain the first law of thermodynamics through work and heat and its Mathematical Formulation.
