Optical physics

The study of the characteristics and behaviour of light is the main emphasis of the field of optical physics in physics. It includes a broad variety of phenomena, such as the characteristics of light itself, such as its wave-particle duality, and how it interacts with materials through diffraction, reflection, and refraction. Optical physics is the study of the concepts behind optical devices such as fibre optics and photonic devices, as well as the principles underpinning optical instruments like telescopes, microscopes, and lasers. It is essential to comprehending basic ideas in relativity and quantum mechanics. Imaging, telecommunications, medical, and many other scientific and technological domains can benefit from the practical applications of optical physics.
