Course objectives (in Czech)
Disciplína je v pořadí třetí přednáška kurzu obecné fyziky pro studenty odborné i učitelské fyziky. Popis kmitů a vlnění fyzikálních soustav jde napříč standardnímu dělení fyzikálních disciplín a obsahuje partie z mechaniky, elektřiny a magnetismu a malým dílem také z fyziky mikrosvěta. Optika je pak samostatnější disciplinou navazující na obecné zákonitosti vlnění.
