The aim of the course is acquainting students with basic laws of optics and elements of quantum physics necessary to understand and predict wave phenomena in optics and micro-world.
Mathematical methods in physics, Elements of physics I, II i III
LECTURE:
- Electromagnetic waves in vacuum and material media.
- Geometrical optics: reflection and refraction of light (Fermat’s principle), mirrors, lenses, prisms; dispersion, aberrations and optical tools.
- Wave optics: periodic wave motion, interference, diffraction and diffraction gratings, dispersion, absorption and dispersion of light, polarization of light.
- Quantum nature of light: photoelectric and Compton effects, wave-particle duality.
- Quantum nature of matter: atomic emission spectra, de Broglie's waves, diffraction of electrons, electron microscope. Quantum properties of matter: atom's models, energy quantization and Schrodinger equation, spin of electron and Pauli exclusion principle, multi-electron atoms, periodic table of elements, atom nuclei and elementary particles.
CLASS:
Solving chosen physical problems related to the lecture.
Conventional lecture and demonstrations. Solving computational problems and discussing results.

LECTURE: Exam. The course credit is obtained by passing a final written exam composed of tasks of varying degrees of difficulty.
CLASS: A student is required to obtain at least the lowest passing grade from the written tests organized during class.
To be admitted to the exam a student must receive a credit for the class.
Final grade: weighted average of grades from exam (60%) and class (40%).
