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.

La legge di gravitazione universale (POK)

Indaghiamo assieme una delle leggi fisiche più belle dell’Universo, ma non solo! Sveliamo i concetti fondamentali della meccanica orbitale, del volo e della propulsione aerospaziale. La forza di gravità è ciò che dà la forma ad ogni oggetto e corpo presente nell’Universo. I pianeti stessi e le loro orbite sono soggetti a questa forza tanto potente quanto misteriosa, come scoprirete seguendo queste lezioni.

Archaeoastronomy (POK)

The science of stars and stones. Archaeoastronomy is the “science of stars and stones”: it studies the relationships between the ancient monuments and the sky, in order to gain a better understanding of the ideas of the architects of the past and of their religious and symbolic world. The course provides the first complete, easy introduction to this fascinating discipline.

Quantum Optics 1 : Single Photons (Coursera)

This course gives you access to basic tools and concepts to understand research articles and books on modern quantum optics. You will learn about quantization of light, formalism to describe quantum states of light without any classical analogue, and observables allowing one to demonstrate typical quantum properties of these states. These tools will be applied to the emblematic case of a one-photon wave packet, which behaves both as a particle and a wave.

The Finite Element Method for Problems in Physics (Coursera)

This course is an introduction to the finite element method as applicable to a range of problems in physics and engineering sciences. The treatment is mathematical, but only for the purpose of clarifying the formulation. The emphasis is on coding up the formulations in a modern, open-source environment that can be expanded to other applications, subsequently.

Fundamentals of Fluid-Solid Interactions (Coursera)

What is fluid-solid interactions ? It is what happens when the motions of a fluid and of a solid are somehow coupled. This happens all the time, around you when leaves flutter in the wind, inside you when your heart beats, above you when wings of a plane vibrate, under the sea... The idea behind this MOOC is to give you the basic tools to be able to predict and eventually mitigate things called flutter, galloping, sloshing, vortex-induced vibrations, added mass, to cite a few. We are going to consider any possible domains of applications such as civil engineering, aerospace engineering, nuclear engineering , ocean engineering, biomechanics and even food processing !
