Inhalt:

The order of the topics relates to the chain of processes of the earth system: beginning with the sources of energy, followed by the transport of energy by radiation and ending with thermody-namic processes and thereby caused mass flows.
The following topics will be discussed in detail:
- Nuclear physics (equivalence of energy and mass; mass defect; nuclear fusion; radioactivity; isotopes; mass spectrometry)
- Physics of atoms and molecules (emission and absorption of electromagnetic waves; spectra of atoms, molecules and solid bodies; spectrum analysis)
- Radiation (Planck’s law of radiation; transmission; scattering)
- Thermodynamics (diffusion; heat transport processes; energet-ics of phase transitions of water; sensible und latent heat; enthal-py; entropy; thermodynamic equilibrium)
- Mass flows (laminar and turbulent flow; Reynolds number; Navier-Stokes-equation; flow in a moving reference system; flow in porous matter)
