| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Peter Schlagheck |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
|
Course contents :
|
|
- Thermodynamics:
states of matter, temperature, pressure, thermal expansion, ideal gas, heat and work, first law of thermodynamics, entropy and second law, heat engines
- Optics:
geometric optics, reflection, refraction, lenses, wave optics, diffraction, interference
- Modern physics:
phenomenology of black-body radiation, photoelectric effect, electron, atom, spectral lines, Bohr's model
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This course aims at teaching the phenomenological basis of thermal physics, of optics, and of moden physics in order to complete the physics education of the mathematics students. At the end of the course, the mathematics students will have encountered all the notions of physics that are taught in high schools. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The prerequisite of this course is to have followed succeeded the courses "Physique Générale I" and "Physique Générale II" |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Regular homework with exercises in relation to the course will have to be submitted. The exercises will be corrected, graded, and discussed in the TD classes. The students will be invited there to present their solutions on the blackboard.
Two practical sessions will be organized on topics in the field of optics. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course will be given face-to-face "ex cathedra" on the blackboard. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| R.A. Serway & J.W. Jewett: Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics (Thomson, 2008) |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Assessment will be done
- by a written examination (3 hours, 40% of the total grade),
- by an oral examination (20 minutes, 40% of the total grade),
- by an examination of the practical works (10% of the total grade) and
- by evaluating the homework exercises (10% of the total grade). |
