Light Ray Theory

Light Ray Theory models light as straight lines, called rays, that travel in a predictable way through different environments. It helps explain how light bends when it passes through materials like glass or water (refraction), and how images form in mirrors and lenses. The theory simplifies complex wave behaviors into manageable paths, making it easier to understand and predict how light interacts with objects. While it doesn't account for every wave property, this approach is fundamental in optics, guiding the design of devices like cameras, glasses, and microscopes.
