Explores birefringence in optics, polarizing light using materials with two refractive indices, and manipulating polarization states with wave plates and retarders.
Discusses wave-matter interactions, focusing on diffraction and diffusion phenomena, including principles of reflection, refraction, and the significance of X-ray interactions.
Introduces fundamental optics concepts, covering refraction, reflection, interference, polarization, and more, exploring the behavior of light in different media.
