Entropy. Phase transitions. Diffusion, heat conduction, viscosity. Harmonic oscillations. Wave motion and acoustics. Wave equation. Doppler effect. Power and volume of the sound. Ultrasound. Wave optics. Interference, diffraction, dispersion and polarization of light. Basic laws of geometric optics. Optical instruments. Structure of the atom and molecules-energy levels. Fluorescence and phosphorescence. Lasers. The corpuscular theory of light. The photoelectric effect. X radiation (CT). The wave nature of light. Electron microscope. The physical basis of nuclear techniques. Radioactive decays. Fission and fusion.

Lectures; laboratory practice; computing practice; consultations. Theoretical part of the course is presented during lectures and it is accompanied by adequate examples which illustrate application of theory on problem solving. Laboratory practice consists of experiments in the field covered by the syllabus and the programme. Typical problems are solved during computing practice, and the knowledge from the lectures is deepened. Besides lectures and practice, consultations are held on the regular basis. Parts of the course which represent a logical whole may be passed during the teaching process through colloquiums. Final examination consists of the written and oral part. Written part of the examination is eliminatory.
