We propose a re-reading in mathematical terms of the long journey, through the centuries, of the study of light propagation, with a popular-educational purposes. In this first part we treat the phenomenon of reflection in flat and curved mirrors, refraction and total reflection, with application to mirrors, lenses and rainbow.

Abstract

We propose a re-reading in mathematical terms of the long journey, through the centuries, of the study of light propagation, with a popular-educational purposes. In this first part we treat the phenomenon of reflection in flat and curved mirrors, refraction and total reflection, with application to mirrors, lenses and rainbow.
