Hello,
In physics, there are two types of optics -
- Physical Optics
- Geometrical Optics
Physical Optics deals with the study of phenomenon like Diffraction, Interference, Polarization, etc. Here studies are done taking inn consideration the wave theory of light, that is light
Geometrical Optics deal with the study of images and at what distances they are formed by mirrors or lens either convex, concave or plane. Here basically reflection and refraction is studies without taking the wave theory of light into consideration.
Hope this was helpful.
