Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
Course objectives
Geometric optics is based on principles of classical geometry assuming light to be a ray. It discuss the rules of propagating of the light rays through the optical environments with various optical properties and through the boundaries between them. Content of the subject is adapted to the needs of optometry bachelor study.
