- Educational objectives
- Introduce students to geometric optics laboratory activities and provide the basic principles for measuring optical quantities and statistically analyzing experimental data. Students will learn to conduct optical experiments, analyze the results, and understand their potential applications in the field of optical technologies. This includes performing laboratory experiences that prepare them for applied optometry activities.
- Prerequisites
- None
- Teaching methods
- The course is articulated in
- Lectures
- Single and group experiments
- Classroom discussions - Learning verification modality
- The assessment of the course's educational objectives involves the discussion of the final reports on the experiments, submitted during the course, accompanied by a practical activity in which the experimental setup of one of the experiments conducted during the course will be replicated. The purpose of the exam is to verify: the understanding of the theoretical content of the course; the ability to correctly present and apply theoretical knowledge; the skill to independently formulate appropriate observations on possible modeling alternatives; the ability to communicate effectively and relevantly in both written and oral form; and the capability to use laboratory instruments.
The final evaluation will be determined by the Commission on a scale of thirty.

- Experiments on light reflection, refraction, and the assembly of optical systems, ranging from the simplest to those more related to professional activities (telescope, microscope, frontifocometer). In laboratory practice and subsequently in the preparation of reports, particular attention will be paid to methodologies for acquiring experimental data and statistical methods for their analysis.
