Aim of the course

The aim of education is the acquisition by the students ability to link theoretical knowledge with practical scills in the description of phenomena occurring in nature.

 

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge in the field of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics provided by the program of studies of Environmental Protection.

 

Scope

Lecture: structure of matter: properties of liquids, gases and solids; thermodynamic processes occurring in living organisms: macroscopic and microscopic processes, mass and energy transport, electromagnetic radiation - microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolent and X-ray; natural and artificial radioactivity.

Laboratories: structure of matter: includig dencity of liquids and solids, viscosity; thermodynamics: including relative humidity of the air, enthalpy of the system, molar enthalpy, phase equilibrium, termoregulation of warm-blooded organisms; electrical properties of liquids: including electrolysis, liquid conductivity depending on the concentration and temperature of the solution; mechanical waves: propagation of acoustic wave, level of sound intensity; nuclear and ultraviolent radiation.
