Course objectives
The aim of the lecture is to provide students with a description of periodical effects in various parts of physics, especially mechanical and electrical oscillations, mechanical and electromagnetic waves and optics at the level of the basic course of general physics. The emphasis is put on understanding mutual interonnections of different parts of physics and their mathematical description. The lecture is accompanied by lots of experiments.
Syllabus
