Examination

Final grades

require performing successfully on the:

• Laboratory tasks - during the course (4 lab sessions, 4 topics), 2.0 credits, grade scale: Pass/Fail
• Final examination - at the end of the course, 4.0 credits, grade scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Laboratory tasks

Lab sessions are run throughout the course, starting from week 39. Lab instructions should be downloaded and studied before the actual lab time. They encompass four sets of experiments:

1. Principal planes
2. Microscopy
3. Michelson interferometer
4. Fourier optics 

Each lab session lasts four hours and comprises four experimental sets. Here is a schedule for the lab groups. During lecture 5 you can sign up for a lab group (A,B,C,D,E, or F). After lecture 5, the sing-up sheet will be on the board outside Studentexpeditionsen (level 5 in Albanova).

For the laboratory task, we meet on level 2 in Albanova (walk past the restaurant on level 3, and down the stairs). Wait by the black tables on your right, the assistant will let you into the labs.

Final examination

The final exam takes place in week 44. The exam is written and consists of six tasks which mostly require a combination of knowledge from different chapters. The textbook, notes, old exams, calculator (not computer because of WLAN risk) and a handbook of your choice are recommended aid on the exam.
