Geometric optics, also known as ray optics, is a branch of optics that describes light propagation in terms of rays.
Geometric optics provides a way to understand how light behaves when it encounters mirrors, lenses, and other optical devices. the subject of this course, is interested in macroscopic effects such as the propagation, reflection and refraction of light.
It is widely used in designing and analyzing optical systems like cameras, eyeglasses, microscopes, and telescopes. Geometric optics relies on the law of rectilinear propagation of light and the Snell-Descartes laws concerning reflection and refraction to describe how light behaves when it interacts with various surfaces and media.
