Course Content
This course covers the fundamental concepts, quantities, and vector quantities of physics; vector operations and the basic principles of wave motion are examined. The wave-particle nature of light and the classification of mechanical and electromagnetic waves are explained. The formation of sound, the properties of sound waves, sound intensity, and noise measurement are emphasized; acoustic phenomena such as resonance, reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and impact are covered. Additionally, the Doppler effect and the physical foundations of shock waves are evaluated.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to enable students to understand acoustic systems from a physical perspective by examining in detail the fundamental physical principles related to the formation, propagation, and perception of sound. Within the scope of the course, students will gain the ability to apply the basic principles of wave motion to sound waves, analyze acoustic phenomena such as resonance, interference, and reflection, and interpret them.
