This bundle of books provides a deep dive into the foundational principles of optical physics, optics, and electromagnetic theory. Optics studies the behavior and properties of light, including reflection, refraction, diffraction, and dispersion. It explores how light interacts with matter, enabling applications in everything from microscopes to lasers. Optical physics also includes the study of various optical devices, including lenses, mirrors, and optical fibers, which play essential roles in communication and imaging technologies. At the core of these studies lies the relationship between light waves and electromagnetic fields, explaining phenomena such as polarization and interference.


In addition to optics, this book delves into electromagnetic theory, which describes how electric and magnetic fields interact to propagate energy through space in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves, including light, radio waves, and X-rays, are essential to technologies like wireless communication, radar, and medical imaging. The integration of optics with electromagnetic theory allows for a deeper understanding of how light and other electromagnetic waves can be manipulated, harnessed, and utilized in cutting-edge applications. This text serves as a comprehensive guide to the behavior of light and fields, addressing both theoretical and practical aspects that shape modern science and technology.
