- Optics - Wikipedia
Modern optics encompasses the areas of optical science and engineering that became popular in the 20th century These areas of optical science typically relate to the electromagnetic or quantum properties of light but do include other topics
- Optics | History, Applications, Facts | Britannica
Optics, science concerned with the genesis and propagation of light and with the changes that it undergoes and produces Physical optics deals with the nature of light itself Geometrical optics has to do with the principles that govern the image-forming properties of devices that make use of light
- Ray (optics) - Wikipedia
Geometrical optics, or ray optics, is a model of optics that describes light propagation in terms of rays The ray in geometrical optics is an abstraction useful for approximating the paths along which light propagates under certain circumstances
- Physical optics - Wikipedia
In physics, physical optics, or wave optics, is the branch of optics that studies interference, diffraction, polarization, and other phenomena for which the ray approximation of geometric optics is not valid
- Optics - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Optics is the science of light and how it interacts with the world Optics explains how rainbows exist, how light reflects off mirrors, how light refracts through glass or water, and what splits light shining through a prism
- What is Optics? | Optica
Optics includes the study of electromagnetic radiation (for example, light and infrared radiation), its interactions with matter and instruments used to gather information due to these interactions
- Optics and vision - Wikipedia
Vision of humans and other organisms depends on several organs such as the lens of the eye, and any vision correcting devices, which use optics to focus the image
- Optical engineering - Wikipedia
They design and operate optical equipment that uses the properties of light using physics and chemistry, [4] such as lenses, microscopes, telescopes, lasers, sensors, fiber-optic communication systems and optical disc systems (e g CD, DVD)
