The Fundamentals of Physics for Ophthalmic Opticians I 1100-1BO14
The aim of the lecture is to expand the knowledge obtained in secondary school.
The program includes the elements of classic lecture in experimental physics and it is richly illustrated with demonstrations of short experiments and complemented by exercises.
The program includes: the elements of particle point dynamics, thermodynamics, electrostatic and magnetic fields, electric current and electromagnetic induction.
Program:
1.The matter of physics. Physical quantities, physical laws. Order of magnitude of physical quantities: time, space.
2.Description of particle point movement. Uniform and non-uniform, linear and circular movement.
3.Newton’s laws of dynamics. Movement in a uniform gravitational field.
4.Work, energy, power.
5.Simple harmonic movement
6.Mechanical waves. Wave equation and its solution
7.Mechanical wave interference, a standing wave, wave energy.
8.The electrostatic field, charges' interaction, field intensity, potential. Gauss' law.
9.Dielectrics and metals in the electric field.
10.Electric current, current flow laws
11.Magnetic field, Ampere's law, electrodynamic laws
Preparing to pass the course the student will take approximately 180 hours.
