Entry knowledge
Knowledge from the area of the electric current conductivity in metals and semiconductors, basic equations of the geometrical optics, description of the interference.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Each student has to write tests and reports of his/her measured results from all twelve seminars.
Attendance at seminars is checked by teacher. Absence may be compensated for by the agreement with teacher.
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.
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.
