    Matrix formulation in geometrical optics

    Topics covered in this lecture Ray tracing a. Translation matrix b. Refraction matrix c. System matrix  In this lecture, we will discuss about one of the most interesting and powerful methods in Geometrical Optics. As we have discussed here (https://mdashf.org/2017/02/25/fermats-principle-a-lecture-in-optics/), geometrical optics is that segment of optics in which we are limited to a situation…
