Overview

The course aims to introduce the student to the wave nature of both sound and light. Enables the student to determine the basic properties of both sound and light. Develop the student's abilities in distinguishing the relationship between the eye and the various optical devices. Provides the student with sufficient information about the formation of images in mirrors and lenses.

Intended learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student should be able to:

1. Recognizes the nature of sound and light waves.

2. Determines the fundamental properties of light.

3. Illustrates the fact that images are formed in mirrors and lenses.

4. Associates the reality of light with observation.

5. Explains the reality of some light properties as a phenomenon (light dimension).

6. Connects the phenomenon of total reflection with what happens in optical fibers.

7. Calculates the focal length of vision correction lenses.

8. Decomposes white light into its components.

9. Develops his ability to solve problems.

Prepares and delivers oral presentations.
