Aim:
The first part of the course will provide basic knowledge about electromagnetism, and its applications. The second part of the course will give an overwiev of modern physics including theory of relativety, quantum and nuclear physics. The basic concepts of modern physics and its consequences on different fields in physics will be presented. The students should after the course be able to.
- Understand the basic concepts of electricty and magnetsim.
- Mathematically solve basic problems regarding electrical and magnetic fileds.
- Understand the basic of theory of relativity, and its cosequences such as timedilation and length contraction.
Explain the basics of quantum mechanics and its application in atomic, molecular and nuclear physics.
Explain the basics of the atomic nuclea, and the nuclear processes.
- Use simple experimental equipment for physical experiments.
