Abstract | This is a two-semester course introducing students into the foundations of Modern Physics. Topics include electricity and magnetism, light, waves, quantum physics, solid state physics, and semiconductors. Selected topics with important applications in industry will also be considered. | ||||
Objective | The lecture is intended to promote critical, scientific thinking. Key concepts of Physics will be acquired, with a focus on technically relevant applications. At the end of the two semesters, students will have a good overview over the topics of classical and modern Physics. | ||||
Content | Electric and magnetic fields, current, magnetism, Maxwell's equations, concept of light, classical optics, waves. | ||||
Lecture notes | Notes from lectures will be available (in German). | ||||
