The student needs to have a good knowledge in Integration, Differentiation, complex numbers and solving simple algebraic equations.
|
|
|
|
The student understands the concept of standing waves and is able to apply this concept in finding the general solution to wave equations.The student acquires basic knowledge in Fourier analysis with special focus on Fourier series, Fourier transformation, FFT and how to derive frequency spectra. The student is able to take advantage of the complex description of Fourier series and Fourier transformations to calculate the frequency spectrum of various functions. The student is aware of Linear Time-Invariant Transmission systems and the term 'convolution'. The student also knows how to apply these concepts in optics which naturally leads to new terms like Point Spread Function (PSF) or Optical Transfer Function. The student is able to understand the advantage of the Fourier concept to explain image formation in complex techniques like, e.g., Computed Tomography or Electron Microscopy. The student is aware of the phenomenon of interference and how it is applied in Fourier Transform Spectroscopy. Furthermore, and understands the effect of diffraction and how it determines the point resolution in imaging devices like microscopes, cameras, eyes etc.

|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | Attendance during and reporting on all practicals is mandatory. All practical reports must be submitted and assessed as good. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | 1. If a student does not attend one of the practicals and/or has not submitted one or more reports, he/she will receive an N – evaluation: unjustified absence for one or more components of the evaluation not fully completed for the programme component. He/she has to attend the missed practical(s) in the next academic year to receive his/her final grade. The student will have to re-enroll in the programme component in the next academic year. 2. A student whose reports (one or more) are not assessed as good, will receive F-fail as final grade for the programme component, regardless of the result of his/her exam. |
|
|
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | 1. The practicals cannot be retaken in the second examination
opportunity. 2. A student whose reports were assessed as good (pass)
in the first examination opportunity, will keep this pass when
determining the final grade for the programme component in the second
examination opportunity. 3. A student whose reports (one or more)
were not assessed as good, will be able to rework the report(s) once and
will have to present the report(s) before a specific date communicated
by the examiner. The student will be able to choose to transfer the
partial grade he/she obtained in the first examination opportunity for
the exam as partial grade in the second examination opportunity,
providing this score was at least 8/20. 4. A pass for all reports
will be automatically transferred to the next academic year in the event
that the student will have to re-enroll in the programme component in
the next academic year. 5. In the event that a student has not
passed the programme component at the end of the academic year, the
student may request to transfer the partial grade he/she obtained for
the exam to the next examination opportunity in the case of
re-enrollment, providing that the student obtained a minimum score of
50% for the exam. A lower score will not be transferrable to a following
re-enrollment in the programme component. |
