Optics and its Applications

Optics is the branch of physics which is concerned with light and it’s behavioural pattern and properties. Optics is a branch of physics that deals with the determination of behavior and the properties of light, along with its interactions with the matter and also with the instruments which are used to detect it.

Optics, in a simple manner, is used to describe the behavior of visible light, infrared light, and the ultraviolet. Imaging is done with the help of a system called an image forming an optical system.

Light is a form of energy that is in the form of an electromagnetic wave and is almost everywhere around us. The visible light has wavelengths measuring between 400–700 nanometres. The Sun is the primary source of light by which plants utilize this to produce their energy.

In physics, the term light also refers to electromagnetic radiation of different kinds of wavelengths, whether it is visible to the naked eye or not. Hence, by this, the gamma rays, microwaves,  X-rays, and radio waves are also types of light. Learn more by visiting the links below.

Applications of Optics

The properties of optics are applied in various fields of Physics-

• The refraction phenomenon is applied in the case of lenses (Convex and concave) for the purpose of forming an image of the object.
• Geometrical optics is used in studies of how the images form in an optical system.
• In medical applications, it is used in the optical diagnosis of the mysteries of the human body.
• It is used in the therapeutical and surgeries of the human tissues.

Journal of medical physics and applied sciences is an international peer reviwed journal aiming to publish the most relevant and recent research works across the world. Medical Physicists will contribute to maintaining and improving the quality, safety and cost-effectiveness of healthcare services through patient-oriented activities requiring expert action, involvement or advice regarding the specification, selection, acceptance testing, commissioning, quality assurance/control and optimised clinical use of medical devices and regarding patient risks and protection from associated physical agents (e.g. x-rays, electromagnetic fields, laser light, radionuclides) including the prevention of unintended or accidental exposures; all activities will be based on current best evidence or own scientific research when the available evidence is not sufficient.

We are inviting the worldwide researchers and scholars to share their valuable research work in our journal.  We always encourage new research works under the scope of our Journal. You can submit the manuscript as an email attachment to medicalsci@scholarlymed.com or through online at https://www.imedpub.com/submissions/insights-medical-physics.html
