The teaching and evaluation activities will be carried out in person unless, due to the health situation, the provisions issued by the competent authorities and by the University of Zaragoza require them to be carried out electronically or
semi-electronically with reduced capacity.

To pass this course, the student needs demonstrate the following results:
Know the fundamentals and practical consequences of the relativistic aspects of radiation.
Being able to analyze the different physical phenomena that involve emission or absorption of electromagnetic
radiation.
Know the radiation detection techniques.
Know the basic rules of the interaction of light with matter.
2.3. Importance of learning goals
The interest in the electromagnetic phenomena at short distances has increased in recent decades due to their fundamental
properties and new physical phenomena associated with the quantum nature of radiation-matter interaction. A solid
knowledge of these phenomena and the development of new analytical tools will allow the students to apply them in solving
advanced problems in this field.
The course will also allow students to acquire and develop the analytical skills necessary to work in a theoretical or
experimental research group in the future.
3. Assessment (1st and 2nd call)
3.1. Assessment tasks (description of tasks, marking system and assessment criteria)
Students must demonstrate that they have achieved the expected learning outcomes through the following
assessment activities:
Reports and written works: 20%
Case analysis, problem solving, questions and other activities: 30%
Oral presentations of works: 20%
Evaluation tests: 30%
The final mark will be obtained according to the above percentages. To pass the subject the final mark must be equal to or
greater than 5.0.
The course has been primarily designed for students who are able to attend the lectures on site, and carry out the evaluation
activities described above. However, there will also be an evaluation test for those students who are either unable to attend
these lectures or who fail in their first evaluation.
This global test will be carried out on the dates established by the Faculty of Sciences and will consist of an evaluation of the
same learning results as in the continuous evaluation tests.
Honors degree qualification
The honors degree will be awarded to students who achieve the maximum grades, as long as it is above 9.0.
