This specialization is for learners who have completed a first-year university-level physics course and wants to continue their study. Through three courses, you will gain a foundation in waves and optics ranging from simple oscillators and waves in strings, to advanced diffraction effects of electromagnetic waves. With an entire semester of lectures and over 100 problems, this comprehensive specialization is similar in detail and rigor to what is taught in on-campus courses. It will thoroughly prepare learners for a career in optics or advanced studies in physics.

Great course but remove the youtube video questions. Youtube as a medium does not have fine enough controls to calculate some of the pieces we need for the problems. Fireworks in particular

Very compelling and a great pathway to explore physics in depth

High quality university teaching. All the course is done with a blackboard. One will learn about dispersion in a medium, the wave equation, ... One will understand waves with experiences, simulations and exercises.

Best course to understand the wave nature as well as particle nature of light.
