Physics is one of the highest-scoring sections in IMU CET if you prepare smartly. Class 11 and 12 NCERT Physics is your bible — start and end there.
High-Yield Topics
| Topic | Qs Expected | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Laws of Motion & Mechanics | 8–10 | Master Newton's laws + friction |
| Electrostatics & Current | 7–9 | Coulomb's law, Ohm's law, circuits |
| Optics | 5–7 | Mirror & lens formula, refraction |
| Waves & Sound | 4–6 | Frequency, wavelength, Doppler |
| Thermodynamics | 4–5 | Laws of thermodynamics, specific heat |
| Modern Physics | 3–5 | Photoelectric effect, radioactivity |
| Magnetism | 3–5 | Fleming's rules, magnetic force |
Key Concepts to Master
Mechanics
- v = u + at | s = ut + ½at² | v² = u² + 2as
- F = ma | Impulse = F×t = Δmv
- Work = F·d·cosθ | KE = ½mv² | PE = mgh
Optics
- Mirror: 1/f = 1/v + 1/u | m = −v/u
- Lens: 1/f = 1/v − 1/u | Lens maker's: 1/f = (n−1)(1/R₁ − 1/R₂)
- Snell's Law: n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
Time tip: Physics questions in IMU CET are mostly application-based. If you know the formula and can visualise the situation, you'll solve it in under 45 seconds.
