Excuse me can you give me any idea about physics report on any topic...plze ans it sensibly

Answer:
I. Measurement log
A well written measurement log is essential if you later want to remember what was measured and what happened during the measurement. Therefore it is necessary to write down all things affecting the measurement carefully and accurately. The notes should be made continuously during the measurement as the details are quickly forgotten. You can't make too many notes. The measured values must be written down as the are, i.e. without making any calculations.
Contents of the log
In the very least the following should be written down in the measurement log:
Name(s) of the student(s), name and code of the work in question, date, name of the demonstrator (not just the initials). Always writing down the dates in the notes has *many* times turned out to be extremely useful.
Names, types and settings of the measuring devices used. In addition it is good to write down e.g. the serial number (or other conclusive means of identification). All relevant circuit diagrams should be drawn to the log, unless they are found in the instruction sheet. Accuracies of the meters must be written down. The numbers can be found in the student lab (ask the demonstrator). This information must also be used in the error analysis. Manuals for all the meters are in the student lab.
Naturally what has been measured and the results with error estimates are also written in the log. It is useful to estimate the most significant sources for error during the actual measurement.
It should be noted that when using a computer in the measurement, a log file created by a computer program, while useful, is never a substitute for a log book written by the student. Of course the log book can be written with a computer as well as with paper and pen.
II. About the nature of a lab report
The report is an essential part of completing the laboratory exercises. Unless otherwise stated, a certain form of the report is required in all the laboratory exercises. It is not necessary to follow it rigidly in all the details, but the general structure must be adhered to.
The reason for limiting the artistic freedom of the students is to learn the format of international research reports. The instructions that follow are mainly based on the practices of European Physics Journal and Physical Review Examples of articles published by the research groups of the Department of Physics have been collected on the wall of the student lab. These will give an idea of the format behind the one used in the lab reports.
Research reports
Research reports published in international journals are read in four levels. The first and most important part in selecting the readers is the title. It should describe the research topic with sufficient accuracy. Most people finding the title interesting read only the abstract, where the methods and results of the research are presented very shortly. Most of the readers who, based on the abstract, decide to go further into the work, usually glance through the pictures and tables, and possibly the conclusions. Finally only very few will read the full article.
It follows from the previous that a good scientific writer is able to pack a lot of information to these key areas. Special care should be dedicated to the captions for pictures and tables.
