Course objectives
At the end of this course a student will be able to interpret and to demonstrate practical experiments of geometrical optic, which are based on their principals and laws. The students are able to solve spreading laws of the ray of light, which is spreading through optical environment and through their interfaces with different optical attributes and geometry of the plane on their interface.
Syllabus
  • Laws of Geometric optics, the refractive index (or index of refraction) of a medium, the refractive index of air
  • Dispersion, Abbe number, catalogue of optical glasses and other optical materials
