ÓPTICA, ESPEJOS y LENTES para la física preuniversitaria

The video explores the nature of light, tracing its study from ancient theories to modern optics. It contrasts Huygens' wave theory with Newton's particle theory, highlighting the contributions of Maxwell. The principles of reflection and refraction are explained, including Snell's law and Fermat's principle. The video also covers the properties of mirrors and lenses, and their use in optical instruments like microscopes and telescopes. Finally, it discusses wave phenomena such as interference and diffraction, and the scattering of light.
