Opis predmeta

In the introduction, we explain the physical basis of electromagnetism and Maxwell's equations. Then we continue with the mathematical description of  electrical conduction in metals and electrolytes. After that, we devote ourselves to modeling the dielectric properties of solids and liquids. In the following, we derive Poisson's equation and, as a special example, the Poisson-Boltzmann equation to describe the electric double layer that is formed when a metal surface is in contact with  electrolyte solution. In the chapter on the magnetic properties of matter, we explain the main characteristics of the  physical models of diamagnetism, paramagnetism and ferromagnetism. The chapter on optics begins with a mathematical description of electromagnetic waves. We also discuss total reflection and optical fibers and examples of simple devices from geometrical optics. In the part of lectures on modern physics, we first explain the basics of the theory of special relativity, then the photo effect, black body radiation and finally the origin of X-rays and their applications. In the final part devoted to the understanding of the main properties of the atoms, we describe the Bohr model of atom which is then used to explain the emission line spectra of gases.
