EXPORT-ORIENTED MANAGEMENT - IMC Fachhochschule Krems

2 nd Semester (SPRING)
Applied Biophysics
Semester Hours per week Subject code ECTS
Spring 2 PHYS_T II 2
Learning Outcomes / Course Objectives
Repetition of basic physics, demonstration and lab exercises, lectures in biophysics.
Prerequisites / Level
Physics, Physics Laboratory
Course Description
The interdisciplinary character of biotechnology and relevant biophysical principles are
being discussed in a very simple way in order to enhance the enthusiasm and to learn
the structures of thinking in a natural scientific way.
The basics of physics will be repeated on the desk ―in a classic way‖. Preposition will be
self-teaching based on the textbook ―Physics‖. The power point presentation will only
give an orientation about the most important topics and offers a basis for individual
exercises (with space for individual remarks).
Demonstrations and lab experiments are important to understand and will be also part of
examinations.

Spring 2 PHYS_L II 3
Learning Outcomes / Course Objectives
The main aim of this course is – as in the Physics Lab I - to learn how scientific
experiments are carried out (problem -> singly acquiring of the theoretical background
-> exact practical work -> writing and using a laboratory journal -> creating a scientific
report) and to find the connection between theory and practice.
Prerequisites / Level
Physics Laboratory 1
Course Description
In the lab the students work in groups of 2 pupils at their given practical problems. 7
different physical problems have to be solved in practical work as well as in theory. The
working groups rotate between the different experiments (e.g. hot-air-engine, rotation of
the plane of polarization with quartz and with sugar solutions, Newton´s rings in
transmitted monochromatic light, Michelson interferometer, change of state I and II,…)
