(1) Docente Responsável
(2) Docente que lecciona
Prerequisites
Basic algebra and elementary trigonometry.
Objectives
On completion of this course students should demonstrate to be able to solve lighting-related problems and select lighting sources as applied to design.
Program
1-General characteristics of light: speed;index of refraction; period; frequency; wavelenght;electromagnetic spectrum
2-Reflection (RE) and refraction (RA) of light: practical aplications of RE and RA laws
3-Transmission and absortion of light: practical applications of the Beer law Light scattering
4-Practical applications of Planck law
Evaluation Methodology
Development of a group assignment related with light (personal or course related choice). Two-mid-term tests. Students will also have (as homework) self-training tests with automatic feedback in all answers.
