This course consists of two parts, with the first part introducing the concept of electromagnetism that form the basis of
current technologies such as mobile phone, telecommunications superconductivity, quantum cocomputer,stc. In detail, the lectures
on electromagnetism will focus on the basic laws governing electricity and magnetism. The studnets will be next introduced
to the unified formulation, namely Maxwell equations, and its consequence of light being electromagnetic waves. The second
part of the course introduces light and its wave-particle dual nature. The course will also introduce light properties, namely,
reflection, refraction, diffraction, polarization, scattering, and absorption. The students will also be introduced to the
multitude of applications, for example, such as everyday gadgets, camera, telescope, light microscopes and also different
light sources, lasers, LED and so on.
The purpose of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concept of electromagnetism
and the manifestation of light being a self-propagating electromagnetic wave and also photons thus resulting in the wave-particle
dualistic nature of light. Fundamentally, students shall understand electricity and magnetism, including the physical laws
governing them and the unification formulation of Maxwell. The students will be finally introduced to the properties of light
and its application for cutting-edge technologies, for instance, real-world applications such as the latest realisation of
quantum entanglement.
