Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
75 class hours (= 56.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 93.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Barbara Hippauf
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Barbara Hippauf

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will: be able to set up differential equations for second-order systems, explain their solutions and carry them out using examples. Analogy systems from mechanics and electrical engineering.
- Students will be able to transfer the methods to coupled systems and higher order systems.
- Students will be familiar with the propagation of various physical quantities via waves. They will be familiar with the wave equation as a solution to differential equations and be able to apply it. They will understand the superposition of waves and their consequences.
- Students will be familiar with the propagation of light as a beam and have a good command of the terms reflection, total internal reflection and refraction. They will be able to describe and calculate images on mirrors, lenses and lens combinations geometrically and mathematically.  They will be able to explain the structure and mode of operation of optical devices.  
- Students will be familiar with the limits of ray optics. They will be able to use the wave nature of light to explain and apply interference and diffraction phenomena, e.g. when limiting the resolution of optical devices.
- Students will be familiar with the structure of the hydrogen atom in Bohr´s model based on classical physics. Using this, they will be able to explain the shell model and energy levels, as well as spectra. They will know how X-rays are generated and used. They will be able to explain the photoelectric effect with light as a particle.
