Optics and waves
Description:
Inspired by the STREAM model with elements of FC and JiTT, this module has eliminated the traditional lectures and replaced them with webcasts and online supervision.
exercises will be held in classroom as usual, however, this week has included a few practical exercises with lasers and optical elements.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Explain the wave nature of light (vs. particle nature)
- Sketch light propagation through media, interfaces and lenses
- Calculate interference and diffraction patterns;
- Describe Gaussian beam propagation vs. Ray tracing
