Physics of Metrology (FSI-XMF)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Miroslav Liška, DrSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚFI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Explanation of the physical fundamentals of the metrology.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Understanding of the physical phenomena of methods of measurements and the functional principles of measuring instruments.
Prerequisites:
Completion of one course of university physics.
Course contents:
Metrology is a scientific and technical branch closely connected to the existence and development of another fields or areas of technical or another application character. These fields include mainly production, transport, telecommunication, health service, business etc. Metrology is used for a quantitative determination and stipulation of different effects, conditions and properties within these disciplines. The course is devoted to the explanation of the theoretical base of metrology, the so-called metrological physics. It includes description of the system of physical quantities and units; and selected physical laws, which form the principles of measurements. Moreover, in the frame of the course different methods of measurements will be discussed, including the techniques for minimising the influence of systematic errors that usually have physical merits.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Active participation in seminars and submitting written reports. The exam has a written and an oral part.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at seminars is required and checked by the tutor.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
    Labs and studios  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory
