Oscillations and Waves: Period and frequency. Waves in water. Interference.
Light: Refractive index. Particle-wave duality. Youngs experiment and Diffraction Gratings (interference).

Assessment Methods

Chemistry: One small examination counting for 20%, and a final examination counting for 50%.
Physics: Final examination.

The small exams are during the semester. The final examination is in December.
In order to pass the course, the student must pass the final exam and at least 20 % must be correct both in chemistry and physics.

Minor adjustments may occur during the academic year, subject to the decision of the Dean
