Introduzione alla fisica sperimentale: elettromagnetismo, ottica, fisica moderna (POK)

Il corso affronta le tematiche dell’elettromagnetismo e dell’ottica partendo dall’applicazione del metodo sperimentale, per prepararsi al meglio all'ingresso all'università.
The course addresses the thematic of electromagnetism and optics, starting with the applications of the experimental method, to better start the academic learning path.


Il corso affronta le tematiche dell’elettromagnetismo e dell’ottica, con un cenno alla fisica moderna, partendo dall’applicazione del metodo sperimentale, per prepararsi al meglio all’ingresso all’università.:

  • elettromagnetismo (2 week)

. campo elettrico, conduttori, condensatori e materiali dielettrici
. corrente elettrica, campo magnetico e materiali magnetici

  • ottica (1 week)

. onde elettromagnetiche, ottica geometrica e ottica ondulatoria

  • cenni di fisica moderna (1 week)

All’interno di ogni settimana si ritrovano video relativi a lezioni, esercizi ed approfondimenti sulle diverse tematiche, nonché quiz a risposta chiusa allo scopo di fornire allo studente l’opportunità di un primo feedback di auto-valutazione. Ognuno dei macro-argomenti si chiude con un quiz riepilogativo per verificare l’acquisizione delle nozioni presentate.
Alla chiusura di questo corso verrà attivata una nuova edizione.
