Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Calculus in one variable. Linear algebra.Intended learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to give basic knowledge of oscillations and wave motion with applications from acoustics and medical technology. After successful examination the student should be able to solve basic problems related to;
mechanical waves including acoustics
Furthermore, the student should be able to;
apply physics modeling and experimental problem solving
perform measurements related to acoustics
present measurements, results and conclusions in a written report
Course content
Physics modeling and experimental problem solving.
Mechanical waves.
Harmonic oscillations, traveling waves, acoustics, superposition, interference.
Teaching and working methods
The course starts with an introduction to experimental problem solving via lectures and laboratory work. The lectures in wave physics are meant to give a basic understanding of the subject. During lectures the most important theory sections are presented together with some applied exercises. The knowledge is deepened and applied through special problem solving sessions. The course also contains laboratory work related to acoustics and medical technology.
The course runs over the first fart of the spring semester.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)
The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.
LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
