Learning Outcomes
Competences
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.
Skills
Knowledge
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
Criteria for evaluation
Course exam, based on a written and/or oral exam, homework assignments, and/or active participation in the course, as determined by the course instructor at the beginning of the semester
Methods
Lecture, interactive teaching elements
Language
