The branch of optics that neglects the finite wavelength of light is?
AQuantum optics
BPhysical optics
CGeometrical optics
DFibre optics
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Geometrical optics
When wavelength is taken as negligible, light is treated as rays travelling in straight lines, which is geometrical optics.
