| Lectures will be given in order starting with the basics, while performing many demonstration experiments to help understand the basic concepts and principles of optics and electromagnetism, and the nature of the phenomena to which they relate. The related applications will be introduced through experiments as much as possible. Contents include geometric optics (reflection, refraction), wave optics (interference, diffraction), electromagnetism and light (basics of Maxwell's equations, light velocity, polarization, dispersion), and so on. |
| The goal is to be able to correctly understand concepts and logical relationships concerning the basics of optics and electromagnetism, and to qualitatively predict experimental results, without relying on complicated mathematical treatments as much as possible. Exploring light as a light ray, light as a wave phenomenon, and light as an electromagnetic wave through observations and experiments, students systematically understand and acquire common basic concepts and rules. |
