PHYS2022-1  Physics 3 : Waves and quanta
Duration :  20h Th, 20h Pr
Credits/ECTS :  
Bachelor in engineering sciences, civil engineer orientation (Bachelor in engineering sciences, civil engineer orientation), 2nd yearFirst semester3
Holder(s) :  Laurent Dreesen
Language :  French language
Course contents :  The course is divided into two parts.The first one is devoted to material and electromagnetic waves. The second one is related to quantum mechanics. Chapters of waves part : material waves, electromagnetic waves, light, waves propagation, polarization, inetrfernces and diffraction. main chapters of quantum part : the models of atoms and the first quanta theory.
Course objective :  The aim of the course consists in

- teaching mechanical and electromagnetic waves as well as related phenomena (propagation, interferences, diffraction,...). The student will acquire the main concepts which will be suitable for their future optics and electromagnetism courses.

- emphasizing the experiments leading the physicists to reconsider the classical physics.
Prerequisites :  Physics and mathematics learned during 1st bachelor.
Workshops :  Laboratories in optics in order to illustrate the theoretical concepts teached in theoretical courses.
Organization :  - The course is organized during 1st period.

- Theory : 20 h

- Laboratory and training sessions : 12 h + 8 h
Written notes :  - Copy of the slides (pdf)

- 1st Bachelor book of physics : "Physics for Scientists and Engineers 6E" by Serway and Jewett

- Laboratories manuscript
Assessment :  Written (theory and exercices) and oral (laboratory) exams in January.
- 2nd session in august-september : written (theory and exercices) and laboratory exams (oral).
- The laboratories exam quotation is taken into account at a level of 25%.
