Wave Physics and Electric Circuits

The course consists of two separate parts.
Wave Physics: Descriptions of plane, circular and spherical waves, based on basic properties as wavelength, frequency and phase with application to mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Classical experiments as reflection, refraction, superposition, standing waves, interference, diffraction and dispersion.
Electric Circuits: Basic concepts and principles with application to simpler circuits with resistors, capacitors and inductors. Direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) calculations. Laboratory work with measurements of currents and voltages.

Progressive specialisation: G1F (has less than 60 credits in first‐cycle course/s as entry requirements)

Education level: Undergraduate level

Admission requirements: Foundation Course in Mathematics 7.5 ECTS cr, Calculus and Geometry 7.5 ECTS cr, and Experimentation and Data Analysis 7.5 ECTS cr, or equivalent.

Selection:

Selection is usually based on your grade point average from upper secondary school or the number of credit points from previous university studies, or both.
