Learning Outcomes
1.Student must understand the concept of conserved force, work-energy theorem
2.Can apply the laws of Newton easily
3.Student must understand the concepts of wavelength and frequency which are the main concepts of waves.
4.Student must understand the concept of transverse and longitudinal wave
5.Student must know the differences between the moving waves and standing waves
6.Student must understand the fact that the vibrating model has a vital importance in physics
7.There must occur more than one model in student's imagination when harmonic motion is to be discussed
8.Student can imagine the effects of external forces acting on the system on the harmonic behaviour of the system
9.Student can observe the physical fundamentals underlying the linear dependance of the force acting on the harmonic motion on the change of position
10.Student can observe the secret underlying the equation of wave in terms of the knowledge of the form of that equation
11.Student can be aware of the fact that the knowledge gained is applicable during the eduation.
