Charge conservation law; electrostatic field and potential: ion, dipole, quadrupole. Gauss law. Electric dipole: permanent and induced. Atom, molecule, dielectrics in electric field: polarization, energy. Conductors: capacity, electric circuits, Kirchoff’s laws and conservation laws. Magnetic field of moving charge,- of arbitrary current. Magnetic moment. The moving charge in electromagnetic field. Magnetic properties of matter: diamagnetism, paramagnetism, ferromagnetism. Electromagnetic induction law, self-induction. Maxwell’s equations, wave equation, electromagnetic waves. Maxwell’s equations in a matter: origin of refraction coefficient, propagation of electromagnetic waves in a medium; reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, coherence, state of a wave polarization. Interaction of an electromagnetic wave with molecules; absorption, emission, index of refraction, molecular light scatterings. Elements of Relativistic Theory: speed of light; Michelson-Morley experiment; time dilation and Lorentz contraction; transformation of velocity - Fizeau experiment; momentum and energy of a relativistic particle. The brief review of spectroscopy; from acoustic, dielectric, optical to X-ray, neutron and nuclear spectroscopy.
