Course detail
Proseminar in Physics III
FSI-0FO Acad. year: 2021/2022 Winter semester
Proseminar in physics III complements the lecture General physics III given within the frame of the speciality Physical engineering. Students taking this seminar can practise and acquire basic knowledge of oscillations and waves in suitable form to be able to solve some physical- and technical problems. These abilities are necessary to understand fundamentals of many technical branches.
Oscillations. Kinematics, dynamics, energy. Dumped oscillator. Forced oscillations and resonance. Anharmonic oscillations.
Waves. Wave equation. Superposition and interference. Sound- and electromagnetic waves. Optics.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Knowledge of definitions, laws and their validity conditions in the range of the syllabus. The emphasis is laid on the encouragement of abilities to solve physical and technical problems by virtue of general information obtained from the lecture General physics III.
Prerequisites
Integral and differential calculus. Newton’s laws. Power and energy in mechanics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through exercises which are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Students are evaluated on the basis of discussion on topics explained during the course.
Aims
Proseminar in physics III is drawn up to support students’ active approach their study content. Discussed topics are influenced especially by students. The main aim is to actively follow the commentary by means of the intensive collaboration between the teacher and the student.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
For passing out the Proseminar in Physics III the attendance at the courses is obligatory. In the case of excused absence an individual way of compensation can be arranged.
