Summary
The aim of the course is to expand the knowledge of the basic course of physics by specific knowledge that students can use in their field. These are the properties of real gases and vapors, heat dissipation, ionizing radiation and its biological effects including the goals and principles of radiation protection. Furthermore, students are acquainted with the basic principles of measuring some physical quantities and an overview of spectroscopic methods used in safety engineering.
