Phys.221 Waves and Optics 3+1

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The primary objective of this course is to:
 Study the phenomena related to oscillatory systems.
 review the fundamentals of oscillatory systems for application to understanding of waves
and optics.
 Review the concepts of waves, their properties.
 This course provides an in depth understanding of phenomena of light such as:
interference, diffraction and Polarization with emphasis on practical applications of both.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

At the end of this course, students will be able to
 Understand Simple harmonic oscillations and their origin
 Superposition of oscillatory quantities and their applications
 Wave equation and its significance
 How the superposition principle play crucial role in explaining many optical phenomenon
such as interference, diffraction
