2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes | |
| The aim of the course is to understand the basic concepts and mechanisms of physics, covering a wide field of knowledge. After teaching this course, the student will be able to understand basic concepts related to heat and thermodynamics and solve problems related to optics, waves, and sound issues. Particular emphasis is given to issues related to electromagnetic radiation so that the student can understand and deal with problems related to both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. In addition, the students will be familiar with issues related to the absorption of radioactivity by humans (absorbed dose, equivalent dose, effective dose). | |
