Type of study Bachelor
Language of instruction Czech
Code 480-2048/01
Abbreviation UAF
Course title Introduction to Applied Physics
Credits 3
Coordinating department Department of Physics
Course coordinator prof. Ing. Ondřej Životský, Ph.D.

Subject syllabus

1. Introduction to Applied Physics
2. Presentation of scientific branches at Department of Physics, FEI, VŠB-TUO
- Applied nuclear physics
- Magnetism and its use in practice
- Optical diagnostics and optoelectronics
3. Students presentations of chosen actual topics


For each of branches there are planned three excercises in the total amount of nine lessons' hours. This cycle will be supplemented by an introductory exercise with a broader content of applied physics, which should create a connection between the theoretical description of reality and its concrete application in technical practice. At the beginning of the course, students choose one of the current topics proposed by the leaders of the specializations. At the end of the course, students will present the topic in the form of a 15-minute presentation and answer relevant questions.
