Description
A branch of physics that explores the properties and behavior of light is called optics. It comprises two primary subfields, namely, physical optics and geometrical optics. Physical optics delves into phenomena such as interference, diffraction, polarization. Positioned between full wave electromagnetism and geometric optics, it views light propagation as wave-like rather than linear. This is the reason it is also known as wave optics. This book aims to provide deep knowledge about the subject of optics. The various subfields within this area of study along with the technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this text. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this textbook.
