451-123 Introduction to Electronics and Optics (Geomatics)

Credit Points:

7.1

Coordinator:

Mr C. L. Ogleby

Timetable:

Semester 2

Contact:

39 hours of lectures, tutorial and practice classes

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this subject the student should understand the basic physics properties associated with optics, electromagnetism and wave motion so as to be able to use this knowledge in future study.

Content:

Optics - Paraxial rays, cardinal points, pupils and stops; Paraxial theory and optical instruments; Aberrations, spread functions and optical transfer functions. Electronics - Electrostatics, circuits, magnetism; Electric and magnetic properties of matter; Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves; Wave equation and wave dynamics; Reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction; Wave propagation, group and phase velocity.

Assessment:

Not more than two hours of written examinations and tests and not more than the equivalent of 40 pages of written assignments and reports on practical work. The relative weighting of the assessment components will be published at the commencement of the subject.
