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.
