Aim:
The aim of the course is to give basic knowledge elektromagnetic waves with a focus on optics.
After successful examination the student should;
- be able to solve problems related to geometrical optics
- be able to solve problems related to wave optics
- be able to solve problems related to photon optics
Furthermore, the student should be able to;
- perform optical measurements
- present measurements, results and conclusions
