| Aims of the course |
Through
theoretical instruction, demonstration experiments and computational
exercises, students can get acquainted with the basic laws of electromagnetic
wave propagation, geometric and physical optics. |
|
|
| Learning outcomes |
Adopted
basic concepts and gained the necessary understanding of the basic laws of
electromagnetic waves and light propagation through familiarization with the
key experiments and equations that follow from them, while developing
mathematical techniques that enable students to solve specific tasks from the
domain of geometric and physical optics. |
