Wave Optics

This course covers the key concepts of the wave theory of light. It begins with the definition of spherical and plane waves, accompanied by a comprehensive exploration of key principles associated with them, such as optical path length, wave intensity, wavefront, wave trains, and coherence length. Special attention is given to light interference through wavefront division (Young's double-slit experiment). The impact of extended and narrow-spectrum light sources is also examined.
