Content

The special principle of relativity. Lorentz transformations and the transformation of velocity. Relativistic momentum and energy.

Electrostatics: electric field and potential. Electric currents and resistance, electric networks. Magnetic fields. Electromagnetic induction, alternating-current circuits. Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic waves. Electric and magnetic fields in matter. Relativistic electromagnetism.

Note that the final exam is given in the same language as the lecture series.

Learning outcome

After completing the course, the student must: Have a good understanding of fundamental concepts in quantum mechanics, and be able to convey its central experimental and theoretical results. In addition, have a broad understanding of concepts and methods of solid state, atomic, nuclear and particle physics, including semiconductors, atomic spectra, the periodic table, radioactivity and the standard Model of particle physics. Finally, the student must be able to complete simple, illustrative calculations within these areas of physics.
