learning outcomes
Students distinguish suitable parts for electrotechnical applications, in dependence on purpose of use. They orientate oneself at declared specificationses, structure and physical priciples of common appliances work. In basic range they master theory of audio-technique, they manage calculate for instance needed power of sound distribution system and choose suitable sound reproducers. Students have conception of sound propagation, meaning of each octaves and tonal systemes. They understand essentials of colorimetry in context of TV and PC displays.
