Summary
The course provides an overview of methods and techniques of measurement of
physical quantities. It includes the preparation and measurement of
mechanical, acoustic, thermal, electric and optical quantities. Students will
deepen their knowledge of processing measured values by uncertainties,
including graphical processing.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Characterize principles and laws of the chosen problems of the classical physics
Describe, clarify and interpret the respective natural phenomena
Measure selected physical quantities, tabulate results and compute the dependent quantities
Compare computed results with the tabled ones or results obtained from another experiments
