This textbook has been designed to provide necessary foundation in optics which would not only acquaint the student with the subject but would also prepare for an intensive study of advanced topics in optics at a later stage. With an emphasis on concepts, mathematical derivations have been kept at the minimum. This textbook has been primarily written for undergraduate students of B.Sc. Physics and would also be a useful resource for aspirants appearing for competitive examinations.
