Course detail

Proseminar in Optics

FSI-T0S Acad. year: 2023/2024 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

Entry knowledge

Wave optics

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

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


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

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.


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