COURSE GOALS: The mail goal is to enable students to independently use instruments and equipment for simple measurements according to tasks and instructions; demonstrate understanding of physical foundations of the exercise and explain measurements and results; analyze data and interpret the results using statistical methods and appropriate computer software.
LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME:
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
1.1. demonstrate a thorough knowledge and understanding of the fundamental laws of classical and modern physics;
1.3. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of basic experimental methods, instruments and methods of experimental data processing in physics;
2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
2.1. identify and describe important aspects of a particular physical phenomenon or problem;
2.2. recognize and follow the logic of arguments, evaluate the adequacy of arguments and construct well supported arguments;
3. MAKING JUDGEMENTS
3.1. develop a critical scientific attitude towards research in general, and in particular by learning to critically evaluate arguments, assumptions, abstract concepts and data;
4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS
4.1. communicate effectively with pupils and colleagues;
4.2. present complex ideas clearly and concisely;
4.3. present their own research results at education or scientific meetings;
4.4. use the written and oral English language communication skills that are essential for pursuing a career in physics, informatics and education;
LEARNING OUTCOMES SPECIFIC FOR THE COURSE:
Students will be able to:
* Independently use instruments and equipment for simple measurements according to tasks and instructions
* Link theoretical knowledge and physical measurements and experimental setup
* Analyse data and interpret the results using statistical methods and appropriate computer software
* Present and explain the results
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Student chooses 6 exercises:
* Determination of surface tension (8 hrs)
* Viscosity measurements of liquid (8 hrs)
* Determination of density of liquid (8 hrs)
* Ideal gas state (8 hrs)
* Lenses and optical instruments (8 hrs)
* Velocity of light (8 hrs)
* Light interference and light diffraction (8 hrs)
REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS:
* Preparation and execution of six exercises
* Report on the measurements and results after each exercise
* Demonstrate understanding of physical foundations of the exercise and explain measurements and results (oral mid-exam after each exercise)
GRADING AND ASSESSING THE WORK OF STUDENTS:
Preparation and execution of six exercises. Report on the measurements and results after each exercise. All exercises and reports have to be done. Each exercise is given a mark (exam + performance + report) and the average value is the final score.
