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;
apply physics modeling and experimental problem solving
perform measurements related to acoustics
present measurements, results and conclusions in a written report
|

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 relevant for several upcoming courses on the programme (Optics - Theory and Application, Electronics, Measurement technology, Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Fourier analysis, Modern Physics, Signals and systems etc.). Materials optics, Optoelectronics.
|
|
Organisation:
The course starts with an introduction to experimental problem solving via lectures and laboratory work. 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.
