Geometrical optics for over 100 years, from the time of newton and huygens in the late 1600s, until 1801 when thomas young demonstrated the wave nature of light with his two slit experiment, it was not clear whether light consisted of beams of particles as proposed by newton, or was a wave phenomenon as put forward by huygens.

Then you come to the chapter on wave optics, and you are told that light travels as a wave, that it can bend around objects, it can diffract and interfere, etc. Geometrical optics a light source emits light uniformly in all directions of the three. We will instead spend most of this book making use of a simpler model of light, the ray model, which does a fine job in most practical situations. Figure 41b shows the same disturbances traveling away from point a the cork as a series of successive wave fronts labeled crests and troughs. Optics physical optics wave optics quantum optics geometrical optics. Geometrical optics can be treated as the limiting case of wave optics when size of obstacle is very much large as compared to wavelength of light under such conditions the wave nature of light can be ignored and light can be assumed to be travelling in straight line rectilinear propagation.
