    The document discusses different types of waves including transverse and longitudinal waves. It describes key wave properties like wavelength and frequency. Reflection and refraction of waves are covered, including the laws of reflection and how refractive index varies between dense and rare mediums. Total internal reflection is explained, noting the critical angles for different materials. Applications of total internal reflection like periscopes, reflectors, and optical fibers are listed. Lenses are introduced, focusing on their power and the two major types - converging and diverging lenses. Ray diagrams are also mentioned.
