Introduces the fundamental concepts of optics, covering quantum optics, wavy optics, and electromagnetic optics, as well as the principles of reflection, refraction, and image formation.
Discusses wave-matter interactions, focusing on diffraction and diffusion phenomena, including principles of reflection, refraction, and the significance of X-ray interactions.
Explores the radiative properties of small spheres, including Rayleigh scattering and absorption efficiencies, with a focus on Mie theory and particle characteristics.
