AAv1 [heures: 4, B2, B3] : At the end of the course, students must state the conditions for the validity of geometric optics, state the angular conditions for reflection and refraction through a diopter, calculate and comment on the characteristic parameters of a light wave (wavelength, frequency, speed, energy, spectral range).
AAv2 [heures: 20, B2, B3, C1] : At the end of the course, students will be able to determine the position and size of an object or image from a centered optical system based on conjugate relationships (diopter or mirror - plane or spherical, lenses or lens systems), graphically determine the position and size of an object or image from a centered optical system, graphically or numerically determine the position and size of an object or image from an optical instrument (microscope, telescope, camera, etc.).
