Introduction to Electromagnetism and Optics

What it covers

Fields, waves, and light will be studied in the context of an important branch of physics known as electromagnetism. These topics are an essential part of a physicist's training, as they are fundamental to our understanding of the physical universe, which can be divided into two parts: radiation and matter. In this first-year course you will be introduced to the concept of a field and learn about the laws that govern electromagnetic phenomena, such as electricity and light. Through interactive learning activities you will apply mathematics to the description of physical systems, including those that vary in time like oscillators and waves. The skills gained will form the basis of further study in physics.
