Course detail

Proseminar in Optics

FSI-T0S Acad. year: 2021/2022 Summer semester

The course deals with selected topics of optics which were not talked about in the previous semester. Partly, it can be modified according to suggestion or needs of students. Students experience also some experimental work in laboratory.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

2

Supervisor

Mgr. Věra Kollárová, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Physical Engineering

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will acquire the knowledge and skills of selected parts of geometrical and wave optics.

Prerequisites

Wave optics

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Students are evaluated on the basis of discussion on topics explained during the course and processing of a selected topic. 

Aims

The aim is to extend the understanding of selected optical principles and effects and support of individual or group dealing with problems using a mathematical description or work in the laboratory.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The attendance at the courses is obligatory. In the case of excused absence an individual way of compensation can be arranged.
