Learning objectives

substantiate and integrate classical physics topics with corresponding quantitative experiments; identify prerequisites, reachable goals and maieutic method

Prerequisites

# <br />
foundations of classical mechanics, electromagnetism, optics

Course unit content

<br />three subsets that are consistent for making up a teaching unit, chosen from: <br />
<br />
working definition of vector, scalar product, vector product; gravitational force; bound motions of bodies under the action of gravity, extreme velocity; simple pendulum, compound pendulum, oscillator, forced oscillations and resonance; propagation of light in homogeneous isotropic media; relative refractive index; focal distance lenses; dispersion of the refractive index; working definition of polarization, reflectance, Brewster angle, polarizisers, Malus' law; interference; diffraction; electrostatic force and Coulomb's law; generation of static and alternating magnetic fields (permanent magnets, current-carrying wires, solenoids, coils and Helmhotz coils); current-current and magnet-current interactions (Oersted, Biot Savart Laplace, Faraday, Lenz); induced electromotive forces and Foucault currents.
