Advancement level:
A

Aim:
The course aims to give basic knowledge of wave motion and propagation with applications in optics and acoustics

Prerequisites:
Attended 40 p in Mathematics

Course organization:
The content of the course is presented at lectures. Assignments will be given to solve problems which demand the use and the understanding of the theory. Laborations will illustrate some of the phenomena that are discussed at the lectures the laborations are introduced at special lectures. Physical seminars are also included (see NFYA56)
