optics

Optical path is related to the geometric path and the relation may be
found as follows.

The distance traversed by light in a medium of refractive index μ in the

time t is given by L = υt

Where υ is the velocity of light in the medium. The distance travelled by

light in a vacuum in the same

time t, is

The distance L is called the geometric path length (GPL). △ is the

equivalent distance in a vacuum and is called optical path length (OPL).

O.P.L. = μ x GP.L. or △ = μL
