Optics

Optics is a branch of physics that focuses on the behavior of light. Understanding the way light performs can develop and improve technologies that can be used to enhance human vision like microscopes and telescopes. Other optical instruments are also included in modern communication systems such as broadband as light can be used to transmit information at fast speeds.
