Description /
Content

The module consists of a lecture with tutorials and deals with the following topics:

  1. Electrodynamics
    • Electrostatics, magnetostatics
    • Maxwell equations
    • Wave equation of the electromagnetic field, wave propagation
  2. Optics
    • geometric optics
    • Polarization, refraction
    • Interference
    • Fresnel, Fourier optics
    • Gaussian optics
Obligatory literature
  • Bergmann Schäfer, Lehrbuch der Experimentalphysik Band II (de Gruyter)
  • Halliday Resnick Walker, Physik (Wiley-VCH)
  • Gerthsen, Physik (Springer Berlin)
Additional literatureIs announced at the beginning of the course.
Organisation and
teaching style
Tutorials are set parallel to the lecture in which written homeworks are placed that have to be done successful, averaged over the semester.P
Course assessment, assessment modeThis module is a non-compensable obligatory module. A test is set containing the topics of lecture and tutorials. The successful work on tutorial's exercises as well as an application is necessary to take part in the test. At the beginning of the following semester a re-examination is offered. A non-passed test can be retried twice. In case of failing the second retry the module is considered failed. A re-participation in lecture and tutorials is possible to prepare for a re-test. The non-passed module can not be retried. The test mark is the mark of the module.
Learning / qualification targetsComprehension of the basic terms of electrodynamics (charge, electricity, electromagnetic fields, etc.) and optics (geometric optics, wave optics, etc.), demonstration of natural laws based on fundamental experiments, mathematical formulations and solutions of simple physical problems in the areas electrodynamics and optics
