Course description
In this class you will learn the physics of optics.
Expected Learning
You will learn how Maxwell's equations imply the laws of reflection and refraction, how electromagnetic waves propagate in vacuum. Topics that will be considered: Simple harmonic motion, complex representation of waves; Fresnel
