Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with photometry, its basic concepts. Are discussed basic photometric quantities of Snapdragon physical and also in terms of perception of light energy by the human eye. Students will learn to work with radiation sources of different characteristics and design lighting systems according to specified photometric requirements.
Knowledge Define the main ideas and conceptions of the subject, describe the main approaches of the studied topics, recall the theoretical knowledge for solution of model problems.
Prerequisites
