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.

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.

Mechanics: Motion, Forces, Energy and Gravity, from Particles to Planets (Coursera)

Most of the phenomena in the world around you are, at the fundamental level, based on physics, and much of physics is based on mechanics. Mechanics begins by quantifying motion, and then explaining it in terms of forces, energy and momentum. This allows us to analyse the operation of many familiar phenomena around us, but also the mechanics of planets, stars and galaxies.
