Course content
|
Seminar is focused on vurther development of ideas presented in the course Physics 3. The students are asked to do their own presentations of selected topics. Topics of the seminar: 1. Rigorous derivation of equations for damped and forced harmonic oscillator using diferential equations. 2. Derivation and solution of wave equation. Fourier analysis. 3. Derivation of equations for speed of sound and pressure amplitude. 4. Derivation of electromagnetic wave equation from Maxwell equations 5. Derivation of possible polarization states from general electromagnetic wave. Derivation of Snell law from Fermat principle. 6. Time and spatial coherence, degree of coherence. 7. Sound. Infrasound and ultrasound and their aplication. Doppler´s effect. Electromagnetic waves. Polarization. 8. Fresnel diffraction. Method of solution of Fresnel integrals - Cornu spiral. 9. Analytic approach to geometrical optics, eikonal equation. 10. Microscopic theory of refraction index - Lorentz theory.
