Description

Optics from Beginner to Expert – The Physics of Light, the training course on optics, physics of light, from beginner to advanced, is published by Udemy Academy. This course is for people who want to learn about optics. A little high school math (trigonometry, equations) is all you need to know to get started. The fundamental question of optics is: What is light? Is light a ray or a ray that can be fully described by geometry? Is light a wave that can interfere with other waves and bend around corners? Is light composed of particles that have energy and momentum like electrons or even macroscopic objects like soccer balls? Here we will discuss all these methods based on theory and experiments.

I can guarantee that you will learn a lot regardless of your current skill level. For advanced students: Lectures on wave and quantum optics are at university level. I am working as a scientist in theoretical physics. Therefore, I often use the concepts presented but I have not forgotten the time I learned about it and I still remember the problems that I and other students had. I have refined my skills as a teacher of undergraduate, graduate and PhD students in theoretical physics and have other successful courses at Udemy.

What you will learn

Geometrical Optics: Reflectance and Reflection for Understanding Mirrors and Lenses
Wave Optics: Diffraction, Interference and Polarization of Light as Waves Explained by Huygens’ Principle and Electrodynamics
Quantum optics: energy, momentum and spin of light in the form of photons
Famous experiments: experiments with double light, photoelectric effect, Compton effect and many others
Solar cells and lasers as modern light technologies
Mathematical descriptions and derivations: from Maxwell’s equations to Fresnel’s equations
Exercises and applications of phenomena such as birefringence and dichroism
Modern optical phenomena such as holography and Fourier optics

Who is this course suitable for?

All skill levels from beginner to expert: these sections vary from easy (geometric photometry) to advanced (quantum photometry).
Anyone who wants to understand what light is from several perspectives.
Students who want to understand famous experiments and phenomena related to light
The more advanced sections are especially for college and university students who are also interested in the mathematical description of the phenomenon.
