This course aims to equip you with basic concepts and problem solving skills in optics and wave phenomena. You will develop physical intuition and basic analytical skills which are important for studying optical rays and wave propagation. Fundamental concepts are emphasized using the framework of phase and wavefronts. These knowledge and skills lay the foundation for subsequent higher level courses in optics, and are also critical in any other wave-related courses such as quantum mechanics and electrodynamics.
