- Previous knowledge expected
-
basic knowledge in physics and chemistry
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
Students have a basic knowledge of optics and optical phenomenons, they know about the nature of light and the mode of operation of the most common optical instruments, they can explain effects of absorption and emission of electromagnetic radiation, they have the ability to understand the optical phenomenons on macroscopic and moelcular level and are able to apply their knowledge for analytical and measurment-technological questions
