Optics plays a crucial role in a wide range of scientific, medical, and industrial applications. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of optics and how such concepts have practical applications. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in this field. This book is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.
