Objective
You learn the physical phenomena in nature. You can solve problems in fluid mechanics and learn the laws of heat transfer as well as the properties of gas and the effects of humidity of air. The basics of electromagnetic waves help you to understand the quantum mechanics and the atom’s model. You also learn about the radioactive decay and the basics of radiation safety.
Content
How can you also have tap water upstairs?
How much energy is saved, if the double glass windows are changed to three glass windows?
Where exactly does moist air condensate?
When is the background radiation level too high?
Materials
Teacher-provided handouts.
Electronic material in Moodle.
Fundamentals of Physics, David Halliday, Robert Resnick, Jearl Walker, 8th or newer edition. ISBN: 978-0-471-75801-3.
Exam schedules
The failed exam can be resit twice. All exam dates mentioned in the timetable of XAMK Engineering Department for Fall term 2019-2020 are available. When preparing for a resit, contact the teacher well in advance so as to allow ample time for checking the retest content area.
Student workload
2 theoretical lessons and 2 lab lessons per week
Further information
The study unit includes 2 exams and 10 laboratory works.
Both exams must be approved, with a 30% minimum of the total number of points achieved for both.
