Class 1 - Postulates and Rules in Ray Optics
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Learning Objectives in this Class:
- Understand that light travels in the form of rays in Geometrical/Ray Optics
- Understand the physical meaning of the refractive index
- Understand that light travels in the form of straight rays if the medium is homogeneous (i.e., refractive index = constant).
- Estimate the reflected and refracted angles in a planar interface
- Apply Snell’s law in one and two planar interfaces
