Prerequisites
( F1030 Mechanics || F1040 Mechanics and molecular physic ) && (! F3060 Oscillations, waves, optics )
Knowledge of mechanics, electricity and magnetism in the range of standard university courses, practical knowledge of mathematical analysis.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
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.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students understand the fundamentals of oscillation and wave phenomena and are able to solve basic problems in this field.
they formulate and solve the equation of motion of simple oscillation systems and are able to propose an adequate approximative model;
they understand the formation and propagation of the waves and manage to describe it using mathematical formulas;
they are able to apply the laws of geometrical optics to describe the propagation of the light and optical imaging;
they apply the fundamental principles of wave optics to interferention and diffraction phenomena.
