Recommended literature: 1. Internet

A student:

1. Can present in a popular manner the basic facts from the physics departments, outline the structure of physics as a scientific discipline and present the influence of selected discoveries in the field of physics on the development of technology, economy and civilization development (K_U01).

2. Is able to prepare a study, including those addressed to a mass audience, regarding research in the field of physics departments, using the obtained knowledge and literature and Internet resources (K_U02).

3. Can independently search for information in the literature and Internet resources, also in foreign languages (K_K05).

Passing the course is based on the assessment that takes into account presentation skills of the choosen topics during the seminar and the ability to discuss problems related to these subjects.

Selected problems related to the significant achievements of modern physics and useful applications of physical phenomena, for example:
