Course/Module description:
Study of waves, with an emphasis on optics. The course teaches basic physical (dispersion, wave packets, monochromaticity, diffraction and polarization) and mathematical (Linear response, Fourier analysis, Separation of variables and complex numbers) concepts.
Course/Module aims:
Understanding wave and optics phenomena, with emphasis on everyday effects.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. Calculate wave properties from a microscopic model.
2. Analyze optical systems (diffraction, interference and polarization).
