Course Contents:
- Introduction (physical quantities, measurements, concepts of mechanics)
- Electromagnetic fields and waves (fields, matter in fields, time-dependent fields, em radiation)
- Optics (light, images, wave optics)
- Quantum physics (matter and light quanta, quantum optics, particle-wave duality, nuclear physics)
Literature:
The main reference for the class is
E. Hering, R. Martin, M. Stohrer,
Physik für Ingenieure
Springer-Verlag, Berlin und Heidelberg, zz. 11. Auflage
Among many other textbooks covering fundamental physics, the are ample examples in English. We will give references to the German translations of the following books that are also available in the English original:
- Giancoli: Physics for Scientists and Engineers (Prentice-Hall)
- Halliday, Resnick, Walker: Fundamentals for Physics (Wiley)
- Tipler, Mosca: Physics for Scientists and Engineers (Freeman)
Within the flipped-classroom concept, texts and videos (in German) will be made available for class preparation.
Preconditions:
Competences acquired during the first year of studies.
Expected Number of Participants:
about 350
Further Grading Information:
Concept
The course is based on the flipped-classroom concept. Students are required to study written materials or/and videos in advance. The "lecture" will be used to discuss your questions, concepts, and problems.
Exam
Passing the written two-hour exam is required for passing the course.
Grade-point bonus
Successful submission of homework problems in combination with submitting questions to be discussed in the lecture online may qualify for a bonus up to 0.4 grade points. Homework and submission of questions does not replace passing the written exam.
Official Course Description:
cf. course description (web page of the mech. engineering department)
Additional Information:
Weekly problem tutorials are offered. Homework has to be submitted in the mailbox in the lobby of the Institut für Kernphysik (S2|14) by Monday noon of the following week to qualify for a grade-point bonus. Remaining problems will be discussed in the weekly recitation sessions. Problems will be published in moodle.
