| Type of study-unit | Obbligatorio (Required) |
| Language of instruction | Italian |
| Contents | Electromagnetism: electric and magnetic fields in stationary and non-stationary conditions. Electric circuits. Electromagnetic waves. |
| Reference texts | Notes provided by the teacher. P. Mazzoldi, M. Nigro, C. Voci, Elementi di fisica. Elettromagnetismo e Onde EdiSES |
| Educational objectives | To provide students with the basic knowledge to understand electromagnetic phenomena and those phenomena related to physical optics. The aim is to enable students to carry out laboratory experiments with light, having a clear theoretical basis and implementing a correct experimental methodology, also considering the analysis of data and the treatment of errors in an appropriate way. The main skills that the course aims to transmit are: - know how to use the fundamental physical laws of electromagnetism to understand the nature of light and its potential applications in optical technologies- |
| Prerequisites | None |
| Teaching methods | The course is articulated in 1) Theoretical lessons 2) Exercises and demonstrative experiments |
| Learning verification modality | Written test that requires the solution of open and / or closed-response questions, to be completed in 2 hours aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge on the course contents (Electromagnetism: electric and magnetic fields in stationary and non-stationary conditions. Electric circuits. Electromagnetic waves.). The purpose of the test is to ascertain: the ability to understand the theoretical contents of the course; the ability to expose and correctly apply theoretical knowledge; Ability to autonomously formulate appropriate judgments and observations on possible alternative model; the ability in effective and pertinent written communication.

| Contents | Polarization, dispersion, interference and diffraction of light: wave optics experiments and guide to the use of optical sources (filament and discharge lamps, LEDs, lasers), optical detectors (photomultipliers, photodiodes and photoconductors), prisms, polarizers, foils delay, gratings, Michelson interferometer. |
| Reference texts | The chapters devoted to Optics of any textbook of Physics 2 (Electromagnetism and Optics) for scientific university courses. |
| Educational objectives | To carry out laboratory experiments with light, having clear the theoretical bases and implementing a correct experimental methodology, also considering the analysis of data and the treatment of errors in an appropriate way. The main skills that the course aims to transmit are therefore: - knowing how to concretely carry out experiments in physical optics, knowing how to analyze the results and understand their possible applications in the field of optical technologies. |
| Prerequisites | Fundamentals of electromagnetism. |
| Teaching methods | The course will consist of short theoretical lessons aimed at introducing the experiments that will be carried on performing both virtual (computer-aided) experiments and traditional experiments about wave optics (polarimetry, dispersion, diffraction, interference, etc) |
| Learning verification modality | The exam includes an oral test which consists of a discussion aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and understanding achieved by the student on the theoretical and methodological contents indicated in the program (Polarization, dispersion, interference and diffraction of light: wave optics experiments and guide to the use of optical sources (filament and discharge lamps, LEDs, lasers), optical detectors (photomultipliers, photodiodes and photoconductors), prisms, polarizers, foils delay, gratings, Michelson interferometer). The oral test will allow us to verify the student's communication skills and independent organization of the presentation .
