Lecturer: dr Andrzej Fogt
Language of instruction: Polish
Learning outcomes: Students know the basic methodology of physical measurements and description of relations between physical values , know basic lows and principles of all branches of physics, and examples of their applying in industry and everyday live, are familiar with basics of the mathematical analysis of physical phenomena (including variable quantities with differential and integral calculus), know mechanical, termal, electrical, magnetic and optical parameters of materials, are acquainted with selected physical measuring methods.
Competences: Students can measure the mechanic, thermodynamic and electric values, can connect simple circuits according to scheme and understand the principles of their operation, know and can apply the simplest electronic converters to measure non-electrical parameters. Students are able to apply the physical lows they know for solving simple practical problems, are able to analyze physical/natural phenomena referring to all branches of physics. Students professionally present graphically and analytically the results of measurements and relationships between physical values, understand description of dynamic values with the use of differential and integral calculus (without complex calculations).
Prerequisites: knowledge of basic mathematics and physics at the secondary school level
Course content: An introduction to the mathematical methods in physics (vector calculus, ideas of differential and integral calculus, rules of drawing the plots); selected problems of kinematics, principles of Newton dynamics and their application to analysis of simple systems, field description of interactions, statics and dynamics of fluids; equilibrium thermodynamics, essentials of statistical thermodynamics; description of phenomena at interphases; description of physical (mechanical and thermal) phenomena from the energetic point of view and use of principles of conservation, measurements of mechanical and thermal values; Selected problems from electricity and magnetism, electrical and magnetic properties of matter, electrical measurements and electrical methods for examining materials; elementary description of electromagnetic waves; laws of optics as a consequence of the wave propagation principles, optical instruments and optical methods for examining materials; physical basis of current methods for testing media: spectroscopy, fluorimetry, electron and tunnel microscopy, isotopic tracer methods.
