Chapter 10–>Light; Reflection and Refraction

Fermat’s Theorem

  • The principle of least time: Light always takes the quickest path between any two points (which may not be the shortest path).
  • Rectilinear propagation of light and the law of reflection  [∠i=∠r] can be validated by Fermat’s principle of least time.
