|
| Credits/ECTS : |
|
|
| Holder(s) : | Fernande Grandjean |
|
| Language : | Langue française |
|
| Course contents : | The general physics course includes classical mechanics, ray optics, electricity, thermodynamics, and wave physics. |
|
| Course objective : | The general physics course is the most important for the freshmen physics students. It is the basis of their education in physics. The goals are to revise and deepen the classical physics, to be able to develop in subsequent years the 20th century physics. Both aspects, theoretical and experimental, of physics are developed through lectures, problem solving and laboratories. |
|
| Prerequisites : | There are no important prerequisite because many of the physical concepts covered in the high-school program are revised but they are deepened throughout the year. However, good mathematical skills are very helpful to follow demonstrations and exercises. |
|
| Workshops : | Laboratories in electricity, ray optics and wave optics are organized. Problem solving sessions illustrate the course. |
|
| Organization : | Lectures in common with Bac 1 in Chemistry and Geology. Laboratories in groups of 20. Problem solving sessions for Bac 1 Physics. |
|
| Written notes : | Lectures notes are sold by Point de Vue. The laboratory and exercices notes are sold by the Department of Physics. |
|
| Assessment : | 4 quizzes, problems, if grade > 10/20, dispensation of the examination.
1 examination in mechanics and ray optics at the end of 1st quadrimester.
1 laboratory examination
1 problem examination
1 theory examination |
