Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student will have a basic knowledge of oscillation phenomena, of atomic and nucleus structure and of the method for the production and consumption of energy. He will be able to use Physics to understand environmental problems, to operate in a laboratory and to work with experimental data.
Course contents
Fluidodynamics: surface tension, capillarity. Thermodynamics:
Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, mean free path, transport
properties (momentum, mass, energy), heat transmission, cycles.
Oscillations: harmonic and forced motion. Elasticity: linear,
volumetric, sheer. Waves: waves in matter, Maxwell equations and
electromagnetic waves, interference and diffraction, light quanta.
Atomic structure and spectral lines. Atomic nucleus structure.
Radioactivity. Interaction of radiation with matter. Energy
production and consumption. Renewable energy.
