Synopsis:

Physics I course will allow students to acquire and strengthen knowledge in these branches of physics: mechanics, thermodynamics and solid state physics. We focus on solid theoretical bases, but independent work in student labs as well as solving practical examples are also important parts of the course. Through the course we also touch the limits of the classical Physics.

Requirements:

Assessment:

1. Completion of lab works and lab reports.

2. Completed all of seminars.

3. A grade of at least 60% in credit test.

Examination:

app. 100 minutes written exam, which includes both numerical exercises and theoretical questions.

Study Objective:

Physics I will allow students to acquire and to strengthen a university-level knowledge in the following physics branches: mechanics, thermodynamics and solid state physics. The course is mainly focused on solid theoretical bases, but it also contains an important part of independent laboratory experiments and practical examples solving. Throughout the semester, this course reaches to the limits of classical physics.
