Prerequisites
Objectives
On completion of this course students should demonstrate to be able to solve lighting-related problems and select lighting sources as applied to light design.
Program
1- Concepts photometry : energy and power; luminous flux; luminous efficiency; luminous intensity and illuminance.
2- Electromagnetic spectrum; monochromatic and polychromatic light sources. Black body and color temperature.
3- Reflection ( RE ) and refraction ( RA ) of light: practical applications of RE and RA laws. Fermat principle. Transmission and absorption of light. Important properties of transparent media ( refractive index , absorption coefficient ). Lenses.
Evaluation Methodology
Continuous evaluation:
Minimum of 2/3 attendance in planned TP classes.
5% Class development of an individual assignment related with light design (personal or course related choice).
95% Two-mid-term tests. Students will also have (as homework) self-training tests with automatic feedback in all answers.
95% Two-mid-term tests.
Other epochs of evaluation:
100% multiple choice test including all subjects taught throughout the semester.
