Introduction: method and language of physics; mathematical basis. Standstill and movement: statics; prerequisites of balance; kinematics; movement equitation; rotation equation. Newton’s dynamics: Newton’s Laws. Work and energy; power and coefficient of efficiency; kinetic energy; potential energy; energy conservation law.
Power fields: global gravitation law; gravity field; sentence of potential energy minimum. Rotation of a solid body: rotation vectors; force of inertia in a rotating system. Flow of liquids: mechanics of liquids (gases); pressure in the gravity force field; theorem of continuity; Bernoull’ equation; hydrodynamics of a continuing environment. Gases: thermodynamics; status equation of gas; Van der Waals’ isotherms; gas and steam; three states of substance; phase diagram.
Molecular physics: specific heats and transmission phenomena; gas heat capacity; barometric formula; law entropy growth – principles of thermodynamics; entropy. Electric field and magnetic field; Coulomb’s Law; electric field; magnetic field. Mechanical oscillations: energy of oscillations; damped oscillations; equation of damped oscillations; damping factor; decrement of damping; resonance. Waves: heaving; transversal wave and longitudinal wave; energy flow in a wave; wave equation; Poynting’s vector; Doppler’s effect; super position principle; addition of waves. Light: geometric optics and photometry; wave theory; corpuscular theory; geometrical optics. Wave optics: Newton’s rings; Fermat’s principle; coherent sources; interference; diffraction of light; resolution limit of microscope and telescope. Radiation optics: counteraction of light with environment; refraction of light; dispersion; absorption; environment as a radiator; thermal or equilibrium radiation; Kirchoff’s Law; Wien’s Displacement Law; Stefan-Boltzmann’s Law; photo effect.

The objective of the course is to ensure general theoretical level in the field of physics, necessary for the acquisition of special subjects and literacy in exact sciences.

Having passed the course the student:
- can explain general physical processes of the surrounding world and
- knows the physical basics of modelling them.

Lectures, solving tasks, laboratory works, independent work
