| TNG012 | Physical Modelling, 6 p (sw) /Fysikaliska modeller/ Advancement level: B | |
| Aim: The aim of the course is to give the students basic skills in physical modelling and problem solving in some central areas of classical physics, and to give knowledge about important applications. The laboratory sessions should give experience in planning, conducting and presenting experimental work.Prerequisites: TNG001 Calculus,TNG002 Linear algebra. Supplementary courses: TNE038 Electromagnetic field theory and Electromagnetism,TNE041 Modern physicsCourse organization: Lectures, tutorials and laboratory sessions.There will be a written examination as well as compulsory assignment presentations and class tests.The laboratory work includes a compulsory written report.Course content: Introduction to experimental problem solving, dimensional analysis,analysis of experimental data. Mechanics: Kinematics, force,equilibrium,Newton's laws,energy and work, oscillations, collisions, rotation. Wave motion and optics: general wave motion, superposition, the wave equation, mechanical waves, acoustics, electromagnetic waves, interference,diffraction,polarisation,geometrical optics. Thermodynamics and statistical physics: Temperature,kinetic theory of gases, heat capacity, the laws of thermodynamics,entropy, blackbody radiation, the greenhouse effect. Course literature: To be announced. | ||
