Aim:
The aim of the course is to give basic knowledge of oscillations and wave motion with applications from acoustics. After successful examination the student should be able to solve basic problems related to mechanical waves including acoustics. Furthermore, the student should be able to perform measurements related to acoustics and present measurements, results and conclusions.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Calculus in one variable. Linear algebra.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
The course content is relvant for several upcoming courses on the programme (Optics - Theory and Application, Electronics, Measurement technology, Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Transform theory, Nanotechnology, Modern Physics etc.).
Materials optics, Optoelectronics.
|
|
Organisation:
The lectures in wave physics are meant to give a basic understanding of the subject. During lectures the most important theory sections are presented together with some applied exercises. The knowledge is deepened and applied through special problem solving sessions. The course also contains laboratory work related to acoustics.
The course runs over the first fart of the spring semester.
