The course is one of the compulsory specialization courses for students in the physics program and the course aims to introduce the student to the exact meaning of light and its properties such as refraction, reflection and scattering. As well as identifying how images are formed from mirrors and lenses and their most important applications. And that the student can distinguish between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves, and that the student recognizes the meaning of sound and find the intensity of sound and the level of intensity
Intended learning outcomes
After passing this course, the student is able to understand that the student determines the angle of refraction and the angle of incidence and to find the relationship between the critical angle and the refractive index of a material. The student is able to draw the image formed by mirrors and lenses, and is able to set and magnify the focal length, that the student knows the importance of optical fibers in practical life deduced from the idea of total internal reflection
Teaching and learning methods
The teaching of the course is based on theoretical explanation and clarification using the regular board and calligrapher
Methods of assessments
The grade of the semester work represents 40% of the final total and is divided by 30% for the midterm written exams, 10% for assignments and short tests, and the remaining 60% for the final exama.
