Language

Content

This teaching unit covers the following subjects: optics (nature of light, mirrors, lenses, optical instruments and colours), biomechanics (deformations of solids) and elements of modern physics and their applications in dentistry.

Teaching methods

Teaching activities include the theoretical course, tutorials in an auditorium, devoted to problems that students must prepare in advance, laboratory sessions and tutorials.

Evaluation methods

The exam is a written exam which consists of several questions, including multiple choice. The questions will include, on the one hand, problems similar to those solved at the tutorial sessions, during the practical work or during the lecture, and, on the other hand, questions which aim to verify that the concepts and developments presented during the course have been assimilated (questions of comprehension or possibly demonstrations made during the lecture, ...). It is also essential to bring a simple scientific calculator to the exam. The terms mentioned above are valid regardless of the session.

Other information

Following the sanitary conditions, the modalities of the teaching AND the examination could be reassessed according to the situation and the rules in force.

Online resources

The exercise syllabus, the "slides" presented during the course and a form can be found on the Moodle space of the course. On this same Moodle space there is also access to didactic applications including a lexicon which describes all the notions of physics seen in the course as well as a series of problems, presented in the form of multiple-choice questions. The student who has difficulty solving these problems also has clues to help him discover by himself the procedure to follow in order to arrive at the solution.

Bibliography

Le cours s'appuie sur certains chapitres du volume 3 des livres de phyique "Benson": si possible la 5ème edition) Edition de boeck
Le Volume 3 "Ondes, optique et phyique moderne " pour les parties oscillations, ondes mécaniques, ondes électromagnétiques et optique géométrique.

Le livre de J. Kane et M. Sternheim intitulé « PHYSIQUE » édité par Dunod, est un bon livre de référence.
