This lecture covers the optical properties of semiconductors, including the absorption coefficient, energy gap, and reflection behavior. It explains how semiconductors reflect, absorb, and transmit light, affecting the energy and distance traveled. The instructor discusses the influence of energy on absorption, the probability of photon absorption, and the transparency of materials based on their structure and composition.
