The aim of the course:
The transmission of energy by wave propagation is fundamental to geophysics. Therefore, the main aim of this course is that to give students the theory of waves and vibrations.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : summarise the general knowledge on wave propagation and be able explain its relation to the formation of eart1,21,
LO - 2 : describe the waves propagation in different media1,21,
LO - 3 : apply simple and damped media circumstance in search of wave propagation.1,26,
LO - 4 : evaluate the results of free and forced oscillations on the eart1,21,
LO - 5 : present before an audience the results and outcome of any exercis1,26,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
