Richly includes basic knowledge such as the properties of light, how images are formed using lenses and mirrors, and the principles of telescopes.

This document explains information related to optics, from the basic properties of light to the formation of images using lenses and mirrors, as well as the characteristics of polarization. It introduces the properties of light traveling through dielectrics, the definitions of wavefronts and rays, the formation of images by spherical mirrors and thin lenses, and the behaviors of light such as interference and diffraction. The content is summarized with diagrams and examples. 【Contents】 1. Basic properties of light 2. Image formation by refraction 3. Optical systems for image formation by reflection 4. Interference of light 5. Diffraction of light 6. Polarization of light *The document can be viewed immediately by downloading the catalog.
