In this lecture, Ashish Sir explains important NCERT solved examples (2.2, 2.3, and 2.4) from Chapter 2 – Units and Measurements for Class 11 Physics. This session is highly useful for students preparing for IIT JEE Mains, NEET, and CBSE/State Board exams.
Key Topics Covered:
1. Parallax Method (NCERT Example 2.2)
-Explanation of the parallax principle and how it helps in measuring large distances that cannot be directly measured.
-Step-by-step solving of Example 2.2 with proper reasoning.
-Applications of the parallax method in astronomy and physics experiments.
2. Range of Lengths & Measurement of Length (NCERT Example 2.3)
-Discussion of the range of measurable lengths in physics – from the size of subatomic particles to astronomical distances.
-Methods of measuring small lengths (e.g., screw gauge, vernier calipers, optical instruments).
-Solving Example 2.3 with conceptual clarity to show practical applications of these methods.
3. Measurement of Mass & Time (NCERT Example 2.4)
-Explanation of how mass is measured in laboratories and advanced experiments.
-Time measurement using oscillations, atomic clocks, and precision instruments.
-Solving Example 2.4 with proper units and detailed calculations.
