Objectives (course unit)
After completing this course student:
- knows the fundamental laws
- can describe phenomenona by using quantities and their dependences and can make justified solutions of related problems
- can analyze periodic phenomena by using harmonic oscillation modelling
- knows the main properties of mechanical and electromagnetic waves
- can calculate distribution of waves based on point source modelling
- knows fundamentals of quantitation and how that is related to fundamental atomic phenomena
- knows fundamentals of nuclear structure, nuclear energy and radioactivity
Content (course unit)
Harmonic oscillation and resonance
Mechanical waves
Sound and intensity level
Electromagnetic waves
Quantitation
Thermal radiation
Absorption, emission, laser, x-rays
Nuclear stucture
Radioactivity
Prerequisites (course unit)
Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics and Thermophysics, Electrodynamics and magnetism
Exam schedules
Will be informed in the beginning of the course
Evaluation methods and criteria
- Examination max 30 points/exam, passing level is 6p/exam
- Exercise sets, max 30 points, passing level is 6p.
- The sum of total points consist of exams and exercise sets (30p+30p = 60 p)
- During the lectures it is possible get extra activity points from specials tasks completed by the small group. This kind of tasks will be organized randomly during normal lectures.
Grading:
- For the grade 1 the sum of the exam and exercise points has to be at least about 40% of the maximum points i.e 040*60 p = 24 p.
- The grade 5 could be achieved by 90% of maximum points i.e. 54 p
Participation to class lectures is highly recommended
Participation to exams and exercise review is compulsory
Absence in the review classes of exercise sets will affect the points ( see above).
