Final exam
| Details |
Written examination with differentiated types of exercises of taxonomy ratings understanding, appliance, analyzing and synthesizing. That means, within the excersises the terms coherence, interference, diffraction and polarisation have to be understood and can be exerted.The optical terms like harmonic wave, plane wave and spherical wave as well as the model of the electric magnetic wave have to be taken for the solution of an analysed optical question and have to be understood and can be exerted. Understood and remebered formula and optical prinziple have to be combined for the solving of new types of excercises. Formulas have to be converted. |
|---|---|
| Minimum standard | 50 % of the exercises with different taxonomy ratings correctly processed |
| Exam Type | EN Klausur |
