Optics can be subdivided into two categories: Geometrical and Physical. Explain the basic assumption behind each of these categories and give an example of a phenomenon which is explained by each.
Due to the earth's curvature, a person cannot see as far and the extent of his vision ends at a distance
called the horizon. If the person's eye level is 1.5 meters from the ground, what is his distance from the
horizon?

Light is an electromagnetic radiation that travels in a straight line at a speed of (3.0 x 108 m/sec, 3.0 x 107 m/sec). 2. It is the type of reflection wherein light hits a smooth surface then light is reflected back in a regular pattern. This reflection is called (specular, diffuse) reflection.3. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is (greater than, equal to) the angle of reflection.4. (Reflection, Refraction) is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another of different optical density.arrow_forwardSolve the following problems on refractive index.
