Lecture Description
The lecture covers the fundamental principles of electricity, magnetism, optics, and selected topics in modern physics.
Students learn to describe electric and magnetic fields, understand electric currents and resistance, and explain the physical principles underlying semiconductors and key technological applications such as diodes, transistors, and electric motors. Maxwell’s equations and their significance are introduced and applied to practical examples.
In the field of optics, the principles of geometric optics (reflection, refraction, lenses, mirrors, microscopes, and telescopes) are discussed, as well as central phenomena of wave optics such as interference, diffraction, and polarization. The course also provides an introduction to modern physics, including wave–particle duality, the fundamentals of special relativity, quantum effects, and the structure of atoms and atomic nuclei.
In addition to the theoretical explanations, numerous demonstration experiments are presented and discussed during the lecture.
