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

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

Website
This course uses e-learn (blackboard).

Prerequisites for participating in the exam
None

Assessment and marking:
Written examination (4 hours) with external second examiner. Marks: according to the 13-point marking scale. Two or three required written assignments. Approved reports in both laboratory exercises. Re-examination after 4th. Quater.

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

Forelæsninger (30 timer). Eksaminatorier: (16 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 men kvantitative beregninger på konkrete opgaver. Disse øvelser fungerer også som forberedelse til den skriftlige eksamen.
