Introduction to Optics
Optics is an applied physics area with applications in industry, scientific instrumentation, medicine, astronomy, and future technologies such as quantum computing. Most optical phenomena can be accounted for using the classical electromagnetic description of light. Complete electromagnetic descriptions of light are, however, often difficult to apply in practice. Practical optics is usually done u...
