About

Physical optics is a branch of physics that investigates the behavior and properties of light by considering its wave nature. This field analyzes phenomena such as interference, diffraction, polarization, dispersion, and scattering, providing the theoretical framework necessary for understanding optical effects not explained by geometric optics and for designing systems where wave properties are significant.
