Prerequisites:
None
Academic preconditions:
FY503 Eletromagnetism I must be known.
Course introduction
To give the students basic knowledge of fundamental principles behind electromagnetic oscillations and optical waves. The course provides general conceptual background for understanding of basic optical phenomena.
Qualifications
After the course, the students should be able to:
- understand basic phenomena in optics
- design and analyze setups used to project and record optical images
- use optical and spectroscopic instruments
