Optics (PAX2PH91)

Instrumental Optics

PAX2PH91 – Phy236

L1 Bio-International

Summary

This course on Instrumental Optical concerns itself with the properties of light in geometrical optics, and image formation in particular, as well as polarization of light in its propagation in anisotropic media. The course work is supported by a laboratory with three sessions (practicals) dealing with the workings of an optical microscope and the polarization of light.
