Exploring concepts of Optics using Wolfram notebook

Offered By: Coursera Project Network via Coursera

Course Description

This project gives you easy access to the invaluable learning techniques used by experts in physics -Optics field. We’ll learn about the how the to use learning modes using wolfram tool for computation and how to encapsulate (“chunks”) information. We’ll cover both Optics reflection and reflection to be most effective in helping you master this tough topic like optics.

Optical physics is the study of the fundamental properties of light and its interaction with matter. This includes classical optical phenomena such as reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference, and also studying the quantum mechanical properties of individual packets of lights known as photons.
Optics, science concerned with the genesis and propagation of light, the changes that it undergoes and produces, and other phenomena closely associated with it. There are two major branches of optics, physical and geometrical. Physical optics deals primarily with the nature and properties of light itself. Geometrical optics has to do with the principles that govern the image-forming properties of lenses, mirrors, and other devices that make use of light. It also includes optical data processing, which involves the manipulation of the information content of an image formed by coherent optical systems.
