Clayton First semester 2007 (Day)
This unit provides part of a major in experimental physics. It consists of laboratory work and three 8-lecture sub-units:
On completion of this unit, students will be able to; understand fundamental concepts in photonics (including photon propagation and information transfer), synchrotron physics (including synchrotron beam characteristics and applications of synchrotron radiation) and optics (light propagation and image formation) and apply a series of theoretical techniques related to these topics; extend mastery of this core to related subject areas of knowledge of particular interest to the student; perform a series of measurements on experiments related to the above topics; write up experimental reports, present, analyse and discuss results.
Examinations (3 x 1 hour): 48%
Laboratory work: 34%
Assignments: 18%
An average of 2 hours lectures, one x 1.5 hour tutorial/workshop and 2.5 hours of laboratory work per week
