Osaamistavoitteet
The student learns the physical models, which are used to describe mechanical and electromagnetic oscillators - as well as the associated laws of nature. By combining individual oscillators, the student will be able to study both mechanical and emg wave motion. The student will become familiar with the properties of sound waves and emg waves. The course will give an understanding of the phenomena, which lead to the beginning of the era of quantum physics. The most important results of quantum physics, such as those related with the photon, the atom and the atomic nucleus will be studied in the course. The student will understand the energy band structure of crystalline solids, the difference between metals and semiconductors, as well as the most important technical applications of semiconducting materials. The student will learn the basic phenomena of quantum physics and the related technical devices. In addition to the theoretical understanding, the student will learn how to apply his/her knowledge experimentally in laboratory environment. The results are analysed, together with thorough error calculations with some experiments. Each student will write 2 reports on the measurements.

Opetusmuoto / Opetusmenetelmät
The relevant theories of physics, together with associated problems and applications, are studied on a course of lectures. In addition, the student will individually solve a number of given homework exercises. Students will also take part in laboratory measurements. The measurements are done in groups of 3 students.
Arviointikriteerit
Grade 1: The student knows those subjects of the course, which are necessary for the forthcoming studies and working life.
Grade 3: The student is well-abled to utilize the course contents.
Grade 5: The student is able to apply creatively the contents of the course.
Arviointimenetelmät
The assessment is based on an examination, homework exercises and laboratory work. A student must solve at least 25 % of the given homework exercises, and (s)he must complete all the associated experiments in the laboratory of Physics, as well as write two reports on the measurements.
