Acquisition of basic knowledge in physics.

Acquired knowledge enables understanding of physical processes operation of technical devices is based on.

Direct current. Modern theory of conductivity. Semiconductors. Electromagnetism. The magnetic field of electricity. Electromagnetic induction. AC electricity. The magnetic field in materials; diamagnetism, paramagnetism, ferromagnetism. Wave motion and acoustics. Wave equation. Doppler effect. Power and volume of the sound. The absorption of sound. Ultrasound. Optics. Basic laws of geometric optics. Optical instruments. Wave optics. Interference, diffraction, dispersion and polarization of light. Laws of black body radiation. Photoeffect. Lasers. The physical basis of nuclear techniques. Radioactive decays. Fission and fusion.

Lectures; laboratory practice; computing practice; consultations. Theoretical part of the course is presented during lectures and it is accompanied by adequate examples which illustrate application of theory on problem solving. Laboratory practice consists of experiments in the field covered by the syllabus and the programme. Typical problems are solved during computing practice, and the knowledge from the lectures is deepened. Besides lectures and practice, consultations are held on the regular basis. Parts of the course which represent a logical whole may be passed during the teaching process through colloquiums. Final examination consists of the written and oral part. Written part of the examination is eliminatory.
