The Gondwana University, Gadchiroli has revised curriculum and introduced choice based ctredit system (CBCS). We feel immense pleasure in presenting this textbook of physics for the course of B.Sc. Semester I as per the new syllabus. This book is amiting to resolve the problem of the students and teachers availability of study materials and books covering newly prescribed syllabus by giving the comprehensive details of the topics of the syllabus at one spot.

The book contains two papers. This book focuses to make the students understand the basic concepts of Mechanics, Relativity and Properties of Matter. The book encompasses the complete material in both examination and conceptual point of view. However, the depth of the topic is limited as per the scope of the syllabus and the patterns of the question asked in related examination. We have tried to keep our explanations simple so that any reader, with basic knowledge of physics, can understand them.
