Course introduction
The purpose of the course is to give the student a broad understanding of the fundamental principles governing nature, both on a macroscopic and on a microscopic (particle) scale.

Expected learning outcome
After completing the course, the student will be able to

 Identify the physical principles which lie behind a specific application or problem
 Use the mathematical tools needed to solve the problem
 Assess the physical validity of the problem solution Perform simple measurements and interpret the results.

Subject overview
1) Fundamental mechanics: Newton’s laws, conservation of momentum, angular momentum and energy.
2) Application of these fundamental laws at the macroscopic level: Elasticity, Hooke’s law, harmonic motion. Macroscopic forces. Different phases.
3) Application of the same principles at the microscopic level: Particle dynamics. Microscopic forces, fundamental forces of nature.
4) Waves: Wavelength, frequency, energy in waves, light as a wave phenomenon.
5) The diffraction limit for observation of small objects.
6) Elementary quantum physics: The q concept of quantum states, the photoelectric effect, the Compton effect.

Website
This course uses e-learn (blackboard).

Prerequisites for participating in the exam
None

Assessment and marking:
(a) Written examination (4 hours) with external censurship. Marks: according to the 7-point marking scale.
(b) Obligatory handing in of written reports.
(c) Approval of reports from laboratory exercises.
Re-examination after 4th Quarter.

Expected working hours
The teaching method is based on three phase model.

Forelæsninger (28 timer). Eksaminatorier: (12 timer). Laboratorieøvelser (8 timer). Regneøvelser, hvor de studerende i hold på ca. 25 personer, under vejledning af en instruktor, indøver udvalgte dele af stoffet ved simple illustrative beregninger på konkrete opgaver. Disse øvelser fungerer også som forberedelse til den skriftlige eksamen
