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
