... • Glass is transparent: its natural freqs are higher, in the ultraviolet range. So glass is not transparent to ultraviolet. But is transparent to lower freqs i.e. visible spectrum. • What happens in this off-resonance case? Atoms are forced into vibration but at less amplitude, so don’t hold on to t ...

History of optics

Optics began with the development of lenses by the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians, followed by theories on light and vision developed by ancient Greek philosophers, and the development of geometrical optics in the Greco-Roman world. The word optics is derived from the Greek term τα ὀπτικά which refers to matters of vision. Optics was significantly reformed by the developments in the medieval Islamic world, such as the beginnings of physical and physiological optics, and then significantly advanced in early modern Europe, where diffractive optics began. These earlier studies on optics are now known as ""classical optics"". The term ""modern optics"" refers to areas of optical research that largely developed in the 20th century, such as wave optics and quantum optics.
