This document provides an overview of key concepts in ray optics, including:
1. Refraction is defined as the change in direction and speed of light when passing from one medium to another. Snell's law describes the relationship between angles of incidence and refraction.
2. Total internal reflection occurs when light passes from an optically dense to rare medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing the light to reflect back into the dense medium.
3. Spherical lenses use thin lens equations and sign conventions to determine image location based on the object position, focal length, and refractive indices of the lens and surrounding media.
