Summary
Introduction of the course is devoted to physical quantities , physical principles , technical measurements and experiments and their use in solving specific problems of safety practices . It follows the kinetic theory of matter - properties of matter of all states and their modulation by external conditions , heat transfer and mechanics of real gases and vapors. The conclusion is devoted to mechanical and electromagnetic waves and ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic physical principles of devices and equipment that are used in security practice . Students must demonstrate knowledge of basic physical quantities and safety principles in practice , to understand their use in solving practical
problems and explain the application and use of technical measurements and technical experiments.
