Topics • Wave Optics: Light exhibits the same diffraction and

interference.

• Ray Optics: The properties of prisms, mirrors, and lenses are best understood in terms of light rays.

• Optical Instruments: Lens combinations of lenses underlie telescopic and microscopic vision

• Modern Optics and Matter Waves: Light and matter exhibit both particle and wave aspects

• Electric Charge and Force: Matter is comprised of electric charges governed by Coulomb’s Law
