Geometrical optics

ID: geometrical-optics

Geometrical optics is a branch of optics that describes light propagation in terms of rays. It simplifies the behavior of light by assuming that it travels in straight lines and can be represented as rays. This approach is particularly useful for understanding how light interacts with various optical elements, such as lenses, mirrors, and prisms, where the wavelength of light is much smaller than the dimensions of the optical components.
