Geometrical & Physical Optics is a comprehensive study of the behavior and properties of light, covering both its geometrical aspects and physical phenomena. This course delves into the fundamental principles governing the propagation of light, its interaction with various optical elements, and its applications in various optical systems. Students will explore a wide range of topics, including the nature of light, reflection, refraction, dispersion, and the formation of images by mirrors and lenses. Additionally, the course will cover advanced topics such as interference, diffraction, polarization, and common vision defects.
