is there any relation between wave optics and Ray optics

Solution

Dear student,

As we know ray optics deals with the reflection and refraction of light in different mediums, this property can be explained using basic wave nature of the light, which can be proved by Huygens principle, thus wave optics is related to ray optics and vice versa.

I know that diffraction is valid when it is much less than D ....

Greater than D then ray optics is valid

What if they are equal???

Pls ans in detail ☺
