optískan
Optískan is a term used in Icelandic to refer to optics, the branch of physics that studies the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it. It encompasses a wide range of phenomena and applications, from the basic principles of reflection and refraction to the development of complex optical systems such as telescopes, microscopes, and lasers.
The study of optískan can be broadly divided into several areas. Geometrical optics deals with light as
Applications of optískan are pervasive in modern life. They are fundamental to vision, photography, telecommunications, medical
