Objectives (course unit)

After completing this course student:
- Has developed his/her technological and scientific way of thinking.
- knows the scientific analysis of phenomena
- knows how to describe electromagnetic, oscillation, wave and atomic phenomena with physical quantities
- knows how the electric and magnetic fields are generated and how these fields are used in applications.
- knows how electromagnetic and mechanical waves are generated, how they propagate and where they are used.
- is able to give justifiable solutions to related problems.

Content (course unit)

Contents:
- electric and magnetic fields, electric circuits and different electronic components
- electric and magnetic properties of matter
- electromagnetic induction
- principles of electric sensors
- Electromagnetic waves, mechanical oscillation, wave propagation, sounds.
- quantization, interaction of photons and matter, atomic energy levels

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

Knowledge of the most essential phenomena and related quantities and units regarding to course topics. Capability to analyse qualitatively and quantitatively simple cases related phenomena similar to discussed examples.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

In addition, capability to apply the principles to new situations. Fluent usage of the terminology and models in presentations of justified qualitative and quantitative analyses of phenomena.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

In addition, versatile ability to analyse phenomena qualitatively and quantitatively realizing the limitations related to theories in use.

Exam schedules

Will be informed in the beginning of the course

Assessment methods and criteria

- Examination contains two mid-exams , each max 30 points/mid-exam, passing level is 6p/mid-exam, total points are 30 p + 30 p = 60 p
- Exercise sets, max 30 points, passing level is 6p.
- The sum of total points consist of two mid-exams and exercise sets (30 p+30 p + 30 p = 90 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.
- In addition to that a special work, sound measurements in the class room will be organized. The participation and reporting (in pairs) of the work is mandatory.
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 0,40*90 p = 36 p.
- The grade 5 could be achieved approximately by 90% of maximum points i.e. 81 p
Participation to class lectures is highly recommended
Participation to exams , exercise review and class laboratory(Sound measurements) is compulsory
Absence in the review classes of exercise sets will affect the points ( see above).
