Optics (Theory) |
The students will be able to – CO25: Understand the concept of Fermat’s principle and apply it to prove laws of reflection and refraction, Refraction at a spherical surfaces and cardinal points.
CO26: Acquire Knowledge of interference and learn about Young’s double slit experiment, Newton’s rings, Michelson interferometer and its Applications.
CO27: Demonstrate basic concepts of Diffraction: Superposition of wavelets diffracted from aperture, understand Fraunhoffer and Fresnel Diffraction. CO28: Gain the Knowledge of electromagnetic waves, Polarization and Optical activity to solve the problems.
CO29: Learn how to Differentiate ordinary ray from LASER ray, knowledge about lasers and Holography. |
Approach in teaching: Interactive Lectures, Discussion, Tutorials, Power point presentation,Problem Solving Learning activities for the students: Self learning assignments, Effective questions, Seminar presentation, Solving numericals |
Class test, Semester end examinations, Quiz, Solving problems in tutorials, Assignments, Presentations |
