specifically, optics is a branch of physics that describes the
behavior and properties of light?including visible, infrared, and
ultraviolet?and the interaction of light with matter.
Optics For Dummies gives you an approachable introduction
to optical science, methods, and applications. You'll get
plain-English explanations of the nature of light and optical
effects; reflection, refraction, and diffraction; color dispersion;
optical devices, industrial, medical, and military applications; as
well as laser light fundamentals.
Tracks a typical undergraduate optics course
Detailed explanations of concepts and summaries of
equations
Valuable tips for study from college professors
If you're taking an optics course for your major in physics or
