Course content
The course gives an introduction to principles of physics for non-physicists (e.g. biology and chemistry students). Focus is on applied physics, with examples of applications of physics in other disciplines. Compulsory laboratory exercises.
Learning outcome
The student shall:
- learn basic mechanics (rectilinear and curvilinear motion, Newton's laws, vectors)
- learn about work and energy
- learn about frictional forces and spring forces
- learn Newton's law of gravitation and learn about gravitational potential
- learn fundamental properties of wave motion, including sound waves and the Doppler effect
- learn about electrical forces, electric potential, capacitance, current (DC and AC), Ohm's law
- learn about light as waves, interference, reflection, and refraction
- learn about light as particles, the hydrogen spectrum, photoelectric effect, X-rays, black body radiation, the early development of quantum mechanics
- learn about particles as waves
- learn about the development of the atom model, the elements and their isotopes, fission, fusion, radioactivity
- become familiar with ways of working and thinking within the field of physics
- become familiar with applications of physics within other disciplines
Learning methods and activities
Lectures. Calculation exercises, compulsory (75%). Compulsory laboratory exercises. The re-sit examination (in August) may be changed from written to oral.
