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 a rare medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing the light to reflect back into the dense medium.
3. Spherical lenses can be either convex or concave. The lens maker's formula and thin lens equation describe the imaging properties and magnification of thin lenses based on the focal length and object and image distances.
