		Physical optics is concerned with the creation, nature, and properties of light.
		Geometrical optics deals with the properties of reflection and refraction of light, as part of the study of mirrors, lenses, and optical fibers.
		As you can see from the dictionary definition above, the study of optics falls into three general categories: light itself, what it is and how it behaves; How we perceive light through the sense of sight; and how light can be manipulated through such processes as reflection and refraction.
