Physics of Light and Optics (2009) Justin Peatross

Description

This text provides an introduction to the field of optics from a physics perspective. It focuses primarily on the wave and ray descriptions of light, covering topics such as reflection and transmission at boundaries, dispersion, polarization effects, diffraction, coherence, ray optics and imaging, the propagation of light in matter, and a brief introduction to the quantum description of light. It is designed for upper-level undergraduate students.
