Course objectives
The second part of the basic physics course for chemists containing optics, elements of quantum theory and elements of solid-state and condensed-matter physics. Chapters important for further chemistry study are emphasized.

The main objective of the course is to provide the students with the ability to
- list and describe the selected fundamental physical principles
- apply these principles during their study of physical chemistry, physical measurements in chemistry and of quantum chemistry
Learning outcomes
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- understand principles of optics, quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics;
- understand links among these fields of physics;
- apply basic mathematics to solve problems in physics.
