Light: not a Light Matter

a Students' Symposium (LLM-2016)

12^th November, 2016

The event named as "Light: not a Light Matter - a Students' Symposium (LLM-2016)", is in the form of an optics outreach camp in one of the premier institute of upper assam, with an aim to ignite the young minds with the knowledge on optics and its related areas. ‘LLM-2016’ is a window of opportunities for all budding physicists from the beautiful town of Dibrugarh to nurture their scientific skills and gain a unique experience and background in commonly used optical devices. Students will develop a deeper understanding of how these technologies use light and also how optics interfaces with other disciplines. The symposium shall offer myriad opportunities in the form of lectures by eminent physicists, tutorials, optics quiz, science model exhibition, etc. that may boost their career in Optics.
