[PP1-5-7] Foundations of geometrical optics, geometrical theory of optical imaging

Geometrical optics is governed by the laws of reflection, refraction and dispersion. Its applications are relevant to many optical systems involving ray tracing, wavefront propagation, thin film calculators (which underly many optical engineering calculations).
