Waves and Thermodynamics

 YOSHIDA Kenji
Course description
Physics is a basic field of academic study of engineerings. On addressing a variety of engineering problems, it is very effective to study physical points of view and understand fundamental ideas, principles, and laws. In physics I class, we learn about fields of wave motion, light wave, thermal action and thermal dynamics.
Purpose of class
To understand the basic concepts and laws of wave motion and thermodynamics, and to be able to make use of them.
Goals and objectives
  1. One can understand basic ideas and laws of wave motions, and one can apply them to the concrete issues.
  2. One can understand natures and behaviors of light as wave, and one can apply them to the concrete issues.
  3. One can understand basic ideas and laws of thermal dynamics, and one can apply them to the concrete issues.

Evaluation method and criteria
In principle, evaluation will be based on in-class quizzes and confirmation tests (65%) and reports (35%).
The quiz The report consists of questions based on the textbook and lecture materials and their applications.
Students will pass the class with 60% of the scores from the test and the report.
In addition, this lecture is linked to the “Study Support Room” and in some cases, study in the “Study Support Room” may be required in order to receive credit.
Feedback on exams, assignments, etc.

Textbooks and reference materials
Physics basic 5th version, Yasuo Hara, Gakujutsu Tosho Shuppan-sha, 2,400 yen + tax
ISBN-10: 4780605253 ISBN-13: 978-4780605259
Prerequisites
It is desirable that students have already taken “Mechanics I.”
It will be important for students to not only simply take the course, but to actively study it.

During the lecture period, there will be multiple “confirmation tests” at online and “quizzes” at during the lecture schedule time.
There will be a report assignment at the end of the term.
Details will be provided in the first lecture.
Office hours and How to contact professors for questions
  • You can ask questions or seek advice during the lecture schedule.
    This class corporates with the Learning Support Room.
    Participant can ask questions during mini-test (quizzes).
  • Lecture materials, videos, and supplementary materials corresponding to each lecture will be distributed.
    Mini-test will be given at the time of the lecture schedule. Questions will be accepted via zoom at that time.
