Physics for Engineers

1. MECHANICS
- Mechanics of the particles – curvilinear motion kinematics
- Mechanics of the rigid objects (location of center of gravity, moment of inertia)
- Simple harmonic motion (mechanical oscillator, simple physical and mathematical pendulum, damped and forced oscillations, resonance)
- Mechanical waves, Doppler effect

2. RELATIVISTIC MECHANICS
- Einstein´s principle of Relativity, Lorentz transformation equations
- Kinematic and dynamic fundamentals in relativity

3. THERMODYNAMICS
- Thermodynamics laws, internal energy, entropy, enthalpy of thermodynamic systems
- Phase transitions
- Thermal transmittance

4. QUANTUM MECHANICS
- Heat transfer, thermal radiation of substances, partical behavior of electromagnetic waves
- Photoelectric effect, slow-down X-ray radiation, Compton scattering
- Wave properties of microparticles
- Bohr´s postulates, Bohr atom model, quantum numbers
- Models of Solids and Semiconductors

5. ATOMIC AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS
- Composition and binding energy of atomic nuclei
- Radioactive decay of nuclei
- Laws of conservation in nuclear reactions
