is the branch of
physics

and the construction of

that use or
detect
it. Optics usually describes the behavior of

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.
