Welcome to the Experimental Physics 3 Course!

In this Experimental Physics 3 course, we will dive into to basic experiments and mathematical descriptions related to light propagation, electromagnetic waves and its material counter part of matter waves. In particular we will have a look at

  • Geometrical Optics

  • Wave Optics1

  • Electromagnetic Waves

  • Matter Waves and Quantum Mechanics

The fields of optics and quantum mechanics are nowadays very active research areas with a dynamically devloping field of optical technologies, high resolution microscopy and quantum information. All this builds on the fundations that are tackled in this course. To back up the lectures I further recommend books that are listed in the resources section of the website.
