Overview
The study of wave motion and Maxwell's four
equations and the study of light phenomena that prove its wave properties from
light interference, which includes yung's experiment of double slit and thin
films, Newton rings, Michaelson interferometer and its applications, and Prism
of Frenel.
Light diffraction includes Fraunhofer's single
slit diffraction and diffraction notched and the ability of optical devices to
contrast and analyze, polarization of light and includes methods of polarization
and conversion of non-polarized light into polarized.
The study of lasers, their properties and the
mechanism of their occurrence.
Intended learning outcomes
The student should understand the wave movement
and the equation of the wave, be able to understand the wave phenomena of
light, how the interference fringes are formed, the diffraction patterns,
calculate the wavelength of light, the diffraction grating of the diffraction
notch, clarify some optical devices, and study experiments from the theoretical
side to prepare the student to enter the optics laboratory.
And to be able to solve problems and to
understand the methods of polarization of light from polarization by selected
absorption and polarization by reflection and double refractive attraction and
scattering and knowledge of optically active materials and to know the student
how lasers work and to distinguish between spontaneous and induced emission and
to know the difference between ordinary light and laser.
