Learning outcomes

The course aims to provide the tools for the understanding of electromagnetism and optics phenomena in classical physics, from the basic physical principles to the methodologies for applying the physical laws to the solution of problems.

At the end of the course the student will:
- have to demonstrate knowledge and understanding in applied contexts of the foundations that make up the functioning of an electromagnetic physical system;
- have the ability to apply the acquired knowledge and have understanding skills to model aspects of an electromagnetic physical problem or parts of a device;
- know how to interpret the physical meaning of a measurement acquired with optoelectronic instruments;
- have the ability to broaden the knowledge to deepen topics of electromagnetism in an autonomous way.
