Optics
is the branch of
physics
which involves the behavior and properties of
light
, including its interactions with
matter
and the construction of
instruments
that use or
detect
it. Optics usually describes the behavior of
visible
,
ultraviolet
, and
infrared
light. Because light is an
electromagnetic wave
, other forms of
electromagnetic radiation
such as
X-rays
,
microwaves
, and
radio waves
exhibit similar properties.
