Department of Physical Sciences

BanasthaliVidyapith

B. Tech –I SEM. Session: 2021-22

Handout: Paper- Physics (Applied Optics)


Course Code: PHY 101
Name of Teachers: Dr. Aditi Upadhyaya

Scope of the Subject: Optics is the study of the combined disciplines of physics,
engineering and mathematics in order to develop an understanding of the interrelationships
of these three disciplines. Fundamental physics is combined with problem solving and
engineering skills, which then has broad applications. Career paths for Engineering physics
are usually (broadly) "engineering, applied science or applied physics through research,
teaching or entrepreneurial engineering". This interdisciplinary knowledge is designed for
the continuous innovation occurring with technology.
Optics in Engineering Physics is meant to provide a more thorough grounding in applied
physics of any area chosen by the student (such as nanotechnology, mechanical
engineering, electrical engineering, control theory, aerodynamics, or solid-state physics).
This is why in some countries only the B.Sc. part of the degree is called a degree in
Engineering Physics.
