Aims of the course | Lab classes are designed to enable students to learn, by performing the individual experiments, how to use optical measuring instruments, along with the most common methods for measurement of optical physical quantities. Simultaneously, the methodology of experimental research and understanding of basic phenomena of geometrical and physical optics are in the focus of the lab work. |

||||||||
Learning outcomes | Students are trained to apply independently optical measurement methods. Practical assessment of the measuring uncertainties, as well as the assessment of systematic and random errors and improvement of the analytic approach in planning and realization of experimental research. |
