Course objectives
During each three weeks of the term, students are introduced with a project of their own choice, design the experimental setup, and finally measure the required data. The outcome of each project is the set of data, which are analysed consequently.

Using laboratory practice in small groups, the main objective of the course is to teach the students how to
- apply the theoretical knowledge of physics in a particular experiment of an own choice
- design and assemble an individual experimental setup for a study of a given phenomenon
- analyse the obtained experimental results and compare them to the theoretical knowledge-base
Syllabus
  • Possible topics of the projects:
  • Brownian motion.
  • Light passing through the planparalel slab and the prism.
  • Fourier spectroscopy.
  • Spectroscopic measurements of the transmittance and reflectance.
  • Bounded oscilators.
  • Reflectance of the light on dielectric interface.
  • Power and phase shift of the alternating current.
  • The focal length of the thick lens.
  • The measurements of the power and the energy of laser radiation.
  • Magnetic measurements on the ferromegnetics matters.
  • optical aberrations
  • polarization microscope
