Description:
The Physics 2 module shall enable students learning the basic laws of nature of optics and contemporary physics - elements of quantum mechanics in relation to the materials structure, atomic and nuclear physics, and solid state physics. In this area students shall: i) ) master definitions of basic physical quantities with particular focus on quantities describing the material properties, ii) master the dimensional analysis of physical equations, iii) learn to perform simple physical experiments in the field of contemporary physics, analyse the obtained results and process them in the form of a report, iv) resolve and analyse simple problems from the field of contemporary physics, acquire the skill to apply specific mathematical equations, v) general learning of quantum mechanics in relation to the structure of matter, vi) analyse and interpret quantum physics issues related to the atom structure, periodic table of elements, the tunnelling effect etc.
Prerequisites:
The knowledge of mathematics at the level of maturity examination, expanded by elements of vector, differential and integral calculus, is required.
