(in Polish) Smartfony w chemii 0600-OG-SwCh
For many years now, the smartphone segment in the telecommunications device market has been one of the largest. Modern man in his everyday life uses more and more advanced devices and often uses only a substitute of their capabilities. The course "Smartphones in Chemistry" aims to reverse this trend by drawing attention to the possibilities of modern telecommunications devices and using them to describe nature and the phenomena occurring in them.
The topics covered during the course include:
1. Sensors provided by an average smartphone.
2. Physicochemical parameters that can be monitored using smartphones.
3. Processes responsible for the production of sound and colors.
4. Color recording methods used in electronic devices.
5. Ways of precise traffic monitoring.
6. Methods of precise monitoring of color phenomena in chemistry (measurements of concentration, reaction rate, titration, crystallization).
7. Methods of precise monitoring of phenomena based on sound intensity.
8. Physicochemical processes related to temperature changes that can be described using a smartphone.
9. The use of other common sensors (including magnetic field sensors, distance sensors, orientation sensors, accelerometers) to study natural phenomena.
10. Possibilities of expanding smartphones towards improving their apparatus features.
11. Statistical analysis of the results.
12. Propagation of errors.
