The subject gives students a deeper and wider knowledge of selected parts of fundamental physics courses with respect to usage of physical phenomena in technological applications (for example lasers, electron beams, roentgen diffraction, thermophysical properties of matter). Students can achieve and deepen their knowledge in solid state physics, liquids and they will be acquainted with modern method of diagnostics of their properties. The subject professionally profile students for a physical topics in a future study program Applied sciences in Mechanical Engineering.
