AIM OF THE COURSE:

The aim of the course is to explain to student the basic amount describing the nature as force, Energy and radiation and first principles of act these values in the world. Student after completing courses should describe all kind of forces, energies and radiation and knows units expressing these values. He should explain the application of these values to describe the separate world phenomenon and know when the separate values were discovered.

PREREQUISITES:

Basic knowledge of physics and mathematics.

SCOPE:

Basic physical quantities – forces, energy, radiation. Real forces existing in the nature – gravitation, buoyancy, friction, springiness, electrostatic, magnetic, surface tension, adhesion, cohesion, lift. Bernoulli law. Pressure. Circle uniform motion – the biggest phenomenon of the motion in the nature (application – mass spectroscopy, accelerator, centrifuge, system of the planets, planetary model of the atom). Forms of the energy – kinetic, springiness, electric charge in electric and magnetic field, electric current, chemical reaction, thermal. Thermodynamic rules. Thermal properties of matter. Principle of the conservation of energy, methods of acquire of the energy. Mechanical waves. Units which characterize the wave motion. Wave phenomenon – absorption, reflection, refraction, interferention, diffraction, resonance. Electromagnetic radiation including Sun waves. Photon as the most important parameter characterizing energy of electromagnetic waves.

METHODS OF EDUCATION:

- oral presentation (lecture in the form of the ppt presentation), - project (preparing thepresentation by oneself), - practical methods.

Verification of learning outcomes and credit conditions:

The lecture - a test conducted in the written form, it lasts 45 minutes and contains 50 closed questions. 60% of the points out of 50 are required to get the pass mark credit. - the self-prepared multimedia presentation. The final mark consists of the average sum of all of the pass partial marks. Exercises - pass mark credit of all exercises (open and closed partial tests - 60% of points scored are required to get the pass mark credit, self-prepared multimedia presentation). The final mark consists of the average sum of all of the pass partial marks.
