The National Medical Commission (NMC) has released the NEET 2024 syllabus. As compared to the previous years' syllabus, some of the topics have been removed from each of the three subjects, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. In the Physics subject, chapters or topics have been removed from as many as 16 units.
The following table brings the topics which have been removed along with their unit names.
Units Topics Physical World and Measurement - Physics: Scope and excitement; nature of physical laws; Physics, technology, and society.
- Need for measurement: Length, mass, and time measurements; accuracy and precision of measuring instruments.
Kinematics Elementary concepts of differentiation and integration for describing motion. Scalar and vector quantities: Position and displacement vectors, general vectors, general vectors and notation, equality of vectors, multiplication of vectors by a real number; addition and subtraction of vectors. Relative velocity. Laws of Motion
Lubrication (under the Equilibrium of Concurrent Forces chapter)
Rotational Motion
Momentum conservation, and centre of mass motion.
Gravitation
Geostationary satellites.
Properties of Bulk Matter/Properties of Solids and Liquids
- Shear, poisson’s ratio; elastic energy. Reynold’s number, Anomalous expansion. Specific heat capacity: Cp, Cv- calorimetry; change of state – latent heat. Qualitative ideas of Black Body Radiation, Wein’s displacement law, and Green House effect.
- Newton’s law of cooling and Stefan’s law.
Thermodynamics
Heat engines and refrigerators.
Oscillations and Waves
- Free, forced and damped oscillations (qualitative ideas only), resonance.
- Doppler effect
Electrosatics
Van de Graaff generator
Current Electricity
- The flow of electric charges in a metallic conductor, Carbon resistors, colour code for carbon resistors; Potentiometer-principle and applications to measure potential difference, and for comparing emf of two cells; measurement of internal resistance of a cell.
Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism
Concept of magnetic field, Oersted’s experiment. Magnetic dipole moment of a revolving electron. bar magnet as an equivalent solenoid, magnetic field lines; Earth’s magnetic field and magnetic elements. Electromagnetic and factors affecting their strengths. Permanent magnets
Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents
LC oscillations (qualitative treatment only)
Optics
- Reflection and refraction of plane wave at a plane surface using wavefronts.
- Scattering of light- blue colour of the sky and reddish appearance of the sun at sunrise and sunset.
- Optical instruments: Human eye, image formation and accommodation, correction of eye defects (myopia and hypermetropia) using lenses.
- Microscopes and astronomical telescopes (reflecting and refracting) and their magnifying powers.
Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation
Davisson-Germer experiment (experimental details should be omitted; only conclusion should be explained).
Atoms and Nuclei
Isotopes, isobars; isotones. Radioactivity- alpha, beta and gamma particles/ rays and their properties decay law.
Electronic Devices
Energy bands in solids (qualitative ideas only), conductors, insulators, Junction transistor, transistor action, characteristics of a transistor; transistor as an amplifier (common emitter configuration) and oscillator.
