Résumé de section

  • Optics in physics is essential in understanding how humans visualize the world. Studying the behavior of light allowed humans to construct and use optical devices, such as telescopes, microscopes, and cameras. These devices opened more opportunities to learn about other fields of study. Optics also paved the way for producing groundbreaking inventions (e.g., lasers and holography), some of which are used in visual communication and medical techniques. The discovery of fiber optics also played a crucial role on faster communication and transmission of information.
