Waves & optics I paper has S.H.M of waves at different frequencies, coupled oscillator, normal modes of oscillator, wave motion & ultrasonic waves are useful in research students can understand briefly by knowing piezoelectric effect. To know the acoustic of buildings for problem solving in applied physics. For gaining material structure to know viscosity & pressure at low physics.

Course Outcomes:-

After going through the course, the student should be able to

CO1: Analyze the phenomena of wave propagation in the unbounded, bounded, vacuum, Dielectric, guided and unguided media.

CO2: Understand the laws of reflection and refraction and to calculate the reflection and Transmission coefficients at plane interface in bounded media.

CO3: Understand the linear, circular and elliptical polarizations of Electromagnetic waves.

CO4: In the laboratory course, the student gets an opportunity to perform experiments such as dispersion of light.

Skills to be learned:-

• Derive and understand associated with the properties, EM wave passing through the interface between two media like (i) Reflection, (ii) Refraction, (iii) Refraction, (iv) Interference and Polarization etc
