Summary

The student will supplement and expand their knowledge of physics with regard to the needs of technical practice. They will understand the relevant physical principles, grasp their use in technical practice, and be able to apply them when solving problems in their field.
Professional knowledge: The student will expand their knowledge of selected parts of Bachelor-level physics based on the use of higher mathematics. They will also become familiar with the basics of quantum mechanics (thermal radiation, particles and waves), the principles of heat transfer, electromagnetic fields (scalar and vector descriptions, Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves), and the atomic nucleus (composition, binding energy, nuclear transformations). They will supplement and expand their knowledge in selected areas of classical and modern physics.
Professional skills: Within the course, the student will learn to analyze selected physical phenomena, summarize the knowledge they have gained, and explain its relationship to observed natural processes or applications in technical practice. The student will be able to solve physics problems on the given topics.
General skills: The student will gain the ability to apply the knowledge acquired when solving problems in technical practice.
