Book Summary: This book provides an introduction to optics and is mainly intended for undergraduate students of science and engineering. This book aims to provide the necessary foundation in optics which prepares the student for an intensive study of advanced topics in optics at a later stage. Much of optics requires a good knowledge of mathematics. The traditional approach appears to stress on the derivations, with a lesser attention paid to the physical concepts. As a result, the student feels the subject to be insipid, disconnected and far from inspiring. An attempt is made in this book to balance the requirements of students taking a course in physics and at the same time to make the subject interesting to them. Audience of the Book : This book Useful for B.Sc. Students. Table of Content: 1. Light 2. Fermat’s Principle and its Applications 3. Reflection and Refraction 4. Lenses 5. Optical System and Cardinal Points 6. Thick Lenses 7. Matrix Methods 8. Dispersion 9. Lens Aberrations 10. Optical Instruments 11. Velocity of Light 12. Waves and Wave Packets 13. Propagation of Light Waves 14. Interference 15. Interference in Thin Films 16. Coherence 17. Fresnel Diffraction 18. Fraunhoffer Diffraction 19. Resolving Power 20. Polarization 21.

Summary: his textbook has been designed to provide necessary foundation in optics which would not only acquaint the student with the subject but would also prepare for an intensive study of advanced topics in optics at a later stage. With an emphasis on concepts, mathematical derivations have been kept at the minimum. This textbook has been primarily written for undergraduate students of B.Sc. Physics and would also be a useful resource for aspirants appearing for competitive examinations.
