Prerequisites

Class enrollment. Passed Applied physics laboratory III.

Content (Syllabus outline)

Electromagnetic radiation, alternating current, I(U) characteristics of electronic elements, pasive electronic filters and Bode plots, wireless energy transfer, optics and optical rays, interference and diffraction.

Readings

E. Etkina, G. Planinšič, A. Van Heuvelen, College Physics: Explore and Apply. Pearson (2021).

Objectives and competences

Students perform a selection of simplified physics experiments with elements of modern measurement techniques. The experiments follow the theoretical expertise gained during the Physics II course: electromagnetic radiation, alternating current, optics.

Intended learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding:
Independent experimental work helps the students to strengthen their knowledge and gain practical experience. The students learn how to systematically observe new phenomena, how to approach the measurement and write laboratory records and reports

Application:
Use of modern ekperimental equipment, data aquisition and analysis.

Reflection:
Critically judging the eksperimental results and relating them to theoretical models. Testing the physics laws with everyday experience.
Transferable skills:
Mastering the use of different equipment, data aquisition methods and software. Laboratory skills are a prerequisite for experimental work.

Learning and teaching methods

Group experimental practice, consultations. Weekly student reports feedback.

Assessment

The assistant asses the quality of the measurement approach and performance according to final student reports.
5 - 10, a student passes the exam if he is graded from 6 to 10
