Physical Laboratory II (FSI-TR2)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Stanislav Průša, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚFI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The main aim of the course is to teach students how to independently carry out measurements of the basic physical phenomena, to process measured data, to calculate measurement errors and to discuss them. Students will be acquainted with the function principles of the basic measurement equipments.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will be made familiar with principles of measuring systems, measuring of the physical quantities and data evaluation. This process is based on individual experimental work with the selected experimental apparatus.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge from the area of the electric current conductivity in metals and semiconductors, basic equations of the geometrical optics, description of the interference.
Course contents:
The course is intended as an introduction to base measurement techniques, to an experiment preparation and data processing. It familiarises students with the measurement of advanced experiments from the area of electromagnetic field, geomagnetism, geometrical and wave optics.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Each student has to write tests and reports of his/her measured results from all twelve seminars.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at seminars is checked by teacher. Absence may be compensated for by the agreement with teacher.
Type of course unit:
    Laboratory exercise  13 × 3 hrs. compulsory
