| Summary |
|---|
| The course is focused on attractive areas of physics, which students may encounter not only in safety practice, but also in the study of materials, methods and technologies using modern approaches and techniques. Topics range from optics, through laser applications, the use of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, spectroscopic and other experimental methods, thermonuclear fusion, alternative fuels and their safety to quantum and nuclear physics and the basics of special relativity. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The aim of the course is to acquaint students with new trends in modern physics, which they may encounter not only in safety practice. They are based on the physical principles of devices, equipment and the latest technologies. Students must demonstrate knowledge of the basic principles of the explained areas, understand their use in solving practical problems and explain the applications and uses in practice. |
