Optics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of light and its interaction with matter, encompassing the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with and transmission through different mediums. This field covers a wide array of phenomena, such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and polarization. Optics is divided into two main branches: geometric optics, which treats light as rays that travel in straight lines and can be easily understood through the laws of reflection and refraction; and wave optics, which addresses the wave nature of light and can explain phenomena such as interference and diffraction that cannot be accounted for by geometric optics alone. The applications of optics are vast, influencing technologies such as lenses, microscopes, telescopes, fiber optics, and a wide range of equipment used in various industries, from engineering and manufacturing to telecommunications and healthcare.
