Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Illustrate the achieved theoretical knowledge in modern physics with its practical applications
Make the students acquainted with the operation of basic experimental apparatuses used in optics and modern physics
Apply the simple statistical methods of measurement processing and evaluation
Teaching methods
Experimental work in labs
Summary
The practicals follow the theoretical subjects called Physics III and Physics IV, devoted to optics and the introduction to modern physics, and supply the basic practical exercises. Attention is paid to the experiments demonstrating wide range of light phenomena – geometrical as well as wave optics, polarization of light and quantization of its energy. It also includes the fundamental experiments from atomic and nuclear physics. Not only the measurement realization itself, but also its correct processing and evaluation is emphasized.
