Optics Courses

Optics courses can help you learn about light behavior, lens design, wave-particle duality, and optical instruments. You can build skills in ray tracing, optical testing, and understanding the principles of diffraction and interference. Many courses introduce tools like CAD software for designing optical systems, simulation software for modeling light propagation, and measurement devices used in laboratories to analyze optical phenomena.
