An optical device is any technology that uses light. An optical device can be as simple as a mirror, or as complex as the Hubble Space Telescope.. Microscopes. Hans and Zacharias Jansen of the Netherlands first built a microscope in about 1595.. Geometrical optics. , or . ray optics. , describes light propagation in terms of "rays". The "ray" in geometric optics is an abstraction or "instrument", that can be used to predict the path of light.. Up to now we have been studying . geometric optics. . Today we will look at effects related to the . wave nature of light –. . physical optics. polarization. interference. thin film interference. Jim Schwiegerling PhD. College of Optical Sciences. University of Arizona. Tucson, Arizona. Euclid. Raphael’s . School of Athens. Euclid ~300BC. Greek mathematician. His book . Elements. used to teach geometry for over 2000 years.. Optics. Reflection:. Light is retransmitted from or “bounces off” an object. Optics. Law of Reflection:. The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.. Optics. Refraction. Light “bends” or changes its angle as it moves from one medium to another.. Light travels in a STRAIGHT LINE . ANOTHER WAY TO THINK OF LIGHT. Light leaving the candle travels in all directions, but we only SEE the light that travels in to our Eye-Brain. ANOTHER WAY TO THINK OF . Andrea Franchi (ESRF, Grenoble). on behalf of the .
