Physics in security technologies

Summary

The course is based on characteristics of properties of substances, physical field, electric current conduction, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, application of measurement methods in practice. Students will acquire knowledge of the basic principles of kinetic theory of matter, optics, acoustics, atomic, nuclear and quantum physics and are able to apply these principles to solving examples. The student is well versed in the use of physical principles in the field of security technologies, knows the basic physical quantities, principles and laws used in security practice, including understanding their interrelationship. Emphasis is placed on linking the theoretical and practical aspects of the problems, ie the physical principle of operation of the device, including the possibility of application in practice, analysis of specific problems of security technologies.
