Catoptrical Theory

Catoptrical Theory involves the study of how light reflects off surfaces such as mirrors. It focuses on understanding the paths light takes when it strikes reflective objects, predicting how images are formed, and analyzing the properties of the reflections. This theory is fundamental in optics, helping us explain phenomena like mirror images and designing optical devices. It relies on geometric principles, considering angles of incidence and reflection, to accurately describe the behavior of light in reflective systems. Essentially, it explains how images appear and behave in mirrors and other reflective surfaces.
