  1. Waves, Light & Quanta Tim Freegarde Web Gallery of Art; National Gallery, London

  2. Fermat’s principle and Snell’s law photons: energy and momentum RAYS AND IMAGES mirrors, lenses and telescopes electrons: diffraction and tunnelling propagation matrices wavepackets and uncertainty WAVELENGTH AND POLARIZATION prisms, rainbows and dispersion polarization, birefringence and polarizers polarization propagation matrices WAVE PHENOMENA amplitudes and interference slits, gratings and interferometers Huygens construction and diffraction SUPERPOSITIONS spectra and spectrometers QUANTA AND WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY beats and coherence Waves, Light & Quanta http://wallpaperstock.net/bunch-of-light-vectors-wallpapers_w10183.html

  3. three a week for 10 weeks or so LECTURES guided reading once a week – 10-11 Weds CLASSES workshop follows 9 o’clock lecture ten exercise sheets, two questions each COURSEWORK 20% hand in to School office (Friday noon) 2 short questions a: 5 short questions EXAMINATION MID-TERM TEST 70% 10% core material b: 2 longer questions Waves, Light & Quanta • all material covered by textbooks • www.phys.soton.ac.uk/quantum/phys1011.php http://static.auctionservices.com/images/924001/Lalique_owl_large.jpg

  4. Hecht Optics good: right level and comprehensive Pedrotti & Pedrotti Introduction to Optics pretty good, but somewhat terse Smith, King & Wilkins Optics and Photonics pretty good, but slightly too advanced Feynman Lectures in Physics excellent – put on your Christmas list! You should expect to refer to: • lectures, University Physics, course material and your own lecture notes Books and resources • textbooks - some suggestions: • exercises and classes, lecturer, demonstrators and tutors • for handouts, links and other material, see http://www.phys.soton.ac.uk/quantum/phys1011.php http://www.renelalique.com/images/misc/Rene-Lalique-0304.jpg
