    FIRST SEMESTER 2012-2013

    Course Handout (Part II)


    Date : 03.8.2012
    Course No.: PHY F213

    Course Title: Optics


    Instructor-in-charge: Manjuladevi. V

    Course Description:
    The course will cover Geometrical optics, Crystal optics, Diffraction, Laser theory and
    the recent trends of research in the optical physics.

    Scope and objective of the course:

    The objective of the course is to give an introduction to basic phenomena in optics


    and the techniques used to deal with them. The recent development of the subject
    and its application in the research level will be discussed. Course will assume a
    basic knowledge of optics at the level of the core Physics courses. The course will
    also provide theoretical background for the optics experiments done in PHYSICS
    LAB II (PHY F214).
