Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will be made familiar with principles of measuring systems, measuring of the physical quantities and data evaluation. This process is based on individual experimental work with the selected experimental apparatus.
Prerequisites
Knowledge from the area of the electric current conductivity in metals and semiconductors, basic equations of the geometrical optics, description of the interference.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Each student has to write tests and reports of his/her measured results from all twelve seminars.
Aims
The main aim of the course is to teach students how to independently carry out measurements of the basic physical phenomena, to process measured data, to calculate measurement errors and to discuss them. Students will be acquainted with the function principles of the basic measurement equipments.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at seminars is checked by teacher. Absence may be compensated for by the agreement with teacher.
