Learning Outcomes
Students acquire the theoretical background to understand and interpret optical phenomena and they are able to understand the function of optical instruments which they may encounter in a laboratory. In this way they become more competent users and able to assess the quality of their measurements. This is accomplished through both the theoretical background provided as well as through the experimental demonstrations during the course and the visits to the Spectroscopy Laboratory where they have direct contact with the intruments and their function.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Work autonomously
Course Content (Syllabus)
