About the Book

This revised and updated edition of A New Approach to I.C.S.E. Physics for Class IX has been meticulously prepared in accordance with the latest syllabus prescribed by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), New Delhi.

The strength of this book lies not only in the accuracy and depth of its subject matter but also in the experiential learning it offers through challenging and engaging Physics problems. Emphasis has been placed on developing a sound understanding of fundamental principles, rather than on rote procedures. The visual presentation and clarity of content aim to make learning Physics both enjoyable and effective.
