Optical Physics - Principles and...

Mark Hedges

Optical physics is a foundational branch of physics that explores the behavior, properties, and interactions of light with matter. Light, in its various forms, plays a critical role in both natural phenomena and technological advancements. Understanding its fundamental nature is essential for applications ranging from imaging systems to communication networks and quantum technologies. This chapter introduces the basic principles of optical physics, covering the nature and properties of light and the historical development of optical science. 
Light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties, a duality that has been central to the development of modern physics. As an electromagnetic wave, light consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields propagating through space. The wavelength and frequency of these oscillations determine the characteristics of light, including its color in the visible spectrum. The wave theory of light explains many optical phenomena such as interference, diffraction, and polarization, all of which are essential in optical technologies. However, light also behaves as a stream of particles called photons, as demonstrated by the photoelectric effect. This particle-like nature of light laid the foundation for quantum optics and photonics, which are crucial for contemporary research and applications.

Professor Jonathan Hassell

Most organisations are oblivious to, or terrified about, web accessibility.
You may be aware that 20% of your customers – people with disabilities – could be clicking away from your websites or mobile apps every day, without having bought anything or found the information they needed. You may have received complaints about accessibility problems you don't understand, with people asking for what seem like impossible fixes. Your web teams may have read the industry standard WCAG guidelines, but found them impenetrable. You probably know you could be sued if you don't do the right thing, but you don't know how far you need to go to prevent that. And apart from eliminating risk, what else is in it for your organisation?
