LEO-235 — Wave Optics
LEO-235 - Wave Optics LEO-235 - Wave Optics 2 credits Three major topics are studied in this course: wave optics, properties of light and matter and the optic of transformations. The majority of the course is dedicated to wave optics and the study of diffraction and interference. In dealing with the properties of light and matter, polarization and optical boundaries are discussed. The optics of transformations deals with Fourier transform spectroscopy, transfer functions, optical data processing, and holography. Laboratory exercises will closely parallel classroom discussions and should bridge the gap between theory and practical use of the concepts expressed. Senior standing course; Honors component available. Must also take either MAT-124 or MAT-130 before or at the same time. Course previously known as: LEOT-420
