PHYSICAL EXPERIMENTS

COURSE CODE: SGMFFX23XXN ECTS CREDITS: 3 TEACHING HOURS PER WEEK:

2

TEACHER: Dr. István SERES seres.istvan@gek.szie.hu

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

During the Physics lectures mainly the theory of the different physical phenomenon is

exposed, sometime with some demonstration. This makes the subject very unpopular

among the students, however the different Physics shows are full of interested people.

On the other hand the people use a lot of different equipments, but they have no idea

about the working principle of them, so often non scientific rumours are spreading on

the net about the advantages or harmfulness of an equipment/method.

The aim of the course is to do a lot of experiments from the different fields of Physics.

Some of the planned experiments are just for fun – there are some very surprising

among them -, but there are a lot about the demonstration of working the different

equipments (e.g. microwave oven), or to highlight the working of the different physical

rules. All of the experiments are discussed, what was exactly happened and why.
