Module Exam

M-CORE 11 Written Module Exam Dispersion, Microscopy and Spectroscopy (2021S)

10.00 ECTS, SPL 26 - Physik

Information

Examination topics

The examination will focus on assessing your understanding of the physical principles and phenomena behind both microscopy and spectroscopy. Instead of derivations of complex formulas, more important is to understand and explain what is being described, how radiation of different kinds interacts with solid-state or molecular systems, and how this understanding can be used for studying the properties of materials.

Assessment and permitted materials

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this examination will be held as digital oral exam. Individual time slots will be scheduled via Moodle and each exam conducted using the Moodle-integrated video conferencing software (only a web browser is required)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

To pass the exam, basic physical understanding of the microscopy and spectroscopy needs to be demonstrated. The grade will depend on the depth and accuracy of the answers to the questions and follow-up questions.

If only half of the questions are correctly answered, the grade is 4. If more questions are correctly answered but significant prompting from the examiners is required or the answers are partial, the grade will be 3. If most questions are correctly answered with only some prompting, the grade is 2. For a grade of 1, correct answers to almost all questions with no prompting will need to be given.
