| After successfully completing the course, students will be able to
• physically define terms such as field and potential and distinguish them from the corresponding electromagnetic and gravitational forces and potential energies.
• describe the propagation and superposition of harmonic waves.
• distinguish the areas of classical physics from those of relativistic physics.
|
| By attending the course, students learn
• develop solution strategies for physical problems in the field of wave phenomena and relativistic physics. (K3)
• represent waves in the various representations (with sine/cosine or as complex numbers). (K3)
• representation and solution of relational problems in Minkowski diagrams. (K3)
|
During the course, students acquire knowledge in the following areas of physics:
• Mechanical waves
• Special relativity theory: Lorentz transformation incl. resulting consequences
• Electromagnetic waves
