Optics is the scientific study of sight that deals with the behavior of light and the properties of deflection of other forms of radiation. You have to learn about the geometrical optics in order to learn topics such as ray-tracing, lens design, apertures, radiometry, and photometry.
This [course_title] discusses the wave optics topics such as the basic electrodynamics. You are provided with analytical and numerical tools used in optical design.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
Certification
Edukite courses are free to study. To successfully complete a course you must submit all the assignment of the course as part of the assessment. Upon successful completion of a course, you can choose to make your achievement formal by obtaining your Certificate at a cost of £49.
Having an Official Edukite Certification is a great way to celebrate and share your success. You can:
- Add the certificate to your CV or resume and brighten up your career
