Learning objectives

The objective of the course is to teach the students how to make measurents of non-ionizing radiations, including measurements of noise and vibrations, making clear both the technical and legal aspects.

Moreover, the course aims to provide the students the theoretical and practical knowledge to manage the environmental impact of electromagnetic fields.

Prerequisites

Physics I, Physics II
