Entry requirements |
Elementary notions of algebra and calculus.
Basic notions of electromagnetic theory

|
Learning outcomes |
To acquire knowledge of the physical principles underlying optical phenomena and how to apply it to the human visual system in order to understand and solve problems related to vision and optical instruments / lenses.
At the end of this course the learner is expected to be able to:
- describe, analyze and interpret the optical phenomena of interference, diffraction and polarization of light;
- to describe and interpret the phenomena of interaction of light with matter;
- to access and analyze the quality of the image.
