PHYSICS

Students should acquire the fundamentals of Optics. Understanding these basics will allow them in turn to acquire the skills necessary to apply the optical models to simple problems resolution. In particular, those corresponding to wave optics, geometrical optics and quantum optics (light as photons accumulation). Understand the basics of applications based on optics. Understand the basic phenomena involved in the interaction of light and matter.

CB1: Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CG3: Knowledge of basic and technological subject areas which enable acquisition of new methods and technologies, as well as endowing the technical engineer with the versatility necessary to adapt to any new situation. CG12: Understanding and command of the basic concepts of the general laws of mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetic fields and waves, and their application to resolve problems characteristic of engineering. RA1: To acquire the knowledge and understanding of the general basic fundamentals of engineering, as well as, in particular, of multimedia communications networks and services, audio and video signal processing, room acoustic control, distributed multimedia systems and interactive multimedia applications specific to Sound and Image Engineering within the telecommunications family.

-In the lectures the theoretical concepts previously described, will be discussed. - Given the advanced nature of the subject, when methodologically appropriate, problems solving and questions, similar to those of the exams, in order to: Identify the more important Optics and the light-matter interaction laws involved. Analyze the logic of the result obtained: orders of magnitude, relate the most important conclusions to other scientific and technological subjects involved in advanced optics - Tutorial sessions will be schedule throughout the course, available to students at will. These sessions must be requested in advance
