Ray Optics or Geometrical Optics
In this branch of optics, the light is considered as a ray
which travels in a straight line.
It states that for each and every object, there is an image. It
deals with the phenomena of reflection and refraction of
light by ordinary geometrical methods.
Reflection of Light
Reflection is the phenomenon of changing the path of light
after incidenting on a smooth surface without any change
in the medium.
