Course details
Optics is a flourishing area in both theoretical and applied physics and engineering. This course is one of the series of optics courses offered in the Faculty. It is designed at an intermediate level with Engineering Physics B being the co-requisite. This course introduces geometrical optics, the treatment of light as the propagation of light rays, and extends wave optics, i.e. treating light as waves beyond the content of the co-requisite course. Wave and geometrical optics theory can explain many optical phenomena, and leads to many important applications in optical instrumentation, for example thin film optical coatings.
