FIRST SEMESTER 2021-2022
Course Handout (Part I!)
Date: 20/08/2021
In addition to Part I (General Handout for all courses appended to the Time Table), this portion
gives further specific details regarding the course.
Course No.: | PHY F213
Course Title: OPTICS
Instructor-in-charge: D. D. Pant
Course Description:
The course will cover Geometrical optics, wave optics, Diffraction, Laser theory, Fiber optics and the recent
trends of research in the optical physics.
‘Scope and objective of the course:
‘The objective of the course is to give an introduction to basic phenomena in optics and the
techniques used to deal with them. The recent development of the subject and its application in the
research level will be discussed. Course will assume a basic knowledge of optics at the level of the
core Physics courses. The course will also provide theoretical background for the optics
experiments done in Electromagnetism & Optics Lab. (PHYF214).
