(16.) In English Language and Literature a candidate will be required to give evidence of a fair knowledge of the principles of English composition, and display ability to write good English. He must also possess a knowledge of certain special books, or else of certain special books together with a period of literature. The special books and the period of literature will be chosen from time to time and duly announced.

Part III (Optional Subjects).

Division I.

(17.) Mechanics and Hydrostatics.—The composition and resolution of forces acting on a point and on a rigid body on one plane; the mechanical powers; friction between two plane surfaces treated simply; the centre of gravity; the fundamental laws of motion; the laws of uniform and uniformly accelerated motion and of falling bodies; projectiles (exclusive of problems depending on the geometry of the parabola); impact; circular motion; simple pendulums; the pressure of liquids and gases; the equilibrium of floating bodies; specific gravities; the principal instruments and machines the action of which depends on the properties of fluids, with simple problems and examples.

Candidates will be expected to show an experimental as well as a theoretical knowledge of fundamental laws, but will not be expected to show any further knowledge of pure mathematics than what is demanded in subject (41), Division II, Pure Mathematics.

(18.) Heat and Light—(a.) General physics: C.G.S. units, velocity, acceleration, force, weight, equilibrium, couples, energy, power, and simple pendulum. Properties of matter—Compressibility, viscosity, and diffusion of gases and liquids; absorption of gases; rigidity of solids, Hook’s Law; constitution of matter, atoms, molecules.

(b.) Heat: Change of volume, measurement of temperature, specific heat, calorimetry, change of state, latent heat, hygrometry, transformation of energy, mechanical equivalent of heat; convection, conduction, radiation, and absorption.

(c.) Light: Nature, velocity; photometry; reflection and refraction at plane and spherical surfaces; thin lenses; dispersion and spectra; the principal optical instruments and vision; interference; plane polarization, and double refraction.

A candidate in Heat and Light will be required to forward to the Department, before the examination, a certificate on the prescribed form that he has gone through a sufficient course of practical work in the subject occupying at least eighty hours.

(19.) Magnetism and Electricity.—(a.) General physics: C.G.S. units, velocity, acceleration, force, weight, equilibrium, couples, energy, power, and simple pendulum. Properties of matter—Compressibility, viscosity, and diffusion of gases and liquids; absorption of gases; rigidity of solids, Hook’s Law; constitution of matter, atoms, molecules.
